Cost:
$ = <$100,000
$$ = $100,000 - $1,000,000$$$ = >$1,000,000Time frame:
Short = fully implementable within 5 years Medium = implementable within 5 – 10 years Long = implementable within 10 – 20 years, or longer

Greenhouse gas (GHG) impacts
Strategy effectiveness is measured in several ways:
GHG emissions reduction potential
Vehicle miles travelled (VMT) reduction potentialQualitatively where there is little data on effectiveness
