What is GreenTRIP?

GreenTRIP is the Traffic Reduction + Innovative Parking certification program for new residential and mixed use developments.

GreenTRIP certification rewards projects that apply strategies to reduce traffic and greenhouse gas emissions.

With GreenTRIP, we want to expand the definition of green building to include robust transportation standards for how people get to and from green buildings. 

Benefits to GreenTRIP certified projects include:

• Tailored Traffic Reduction Strategies - TransForm staff will work with you to identify the most appropriate strategies to help make projects more financially feasible.

• Public Hearing Testimony - GreenTRIP staff will explain the traffic and greenhouse gas reducing benefits achieved by GreenTRIP Certified projects to decision-makers and the public.

• Market Differentiation - Use of the GreenTRIP name and logo in promotional materials, and a plaque to mount on the project when built.
