Calculation of air travel emissions
Associated Project(s):
Good morning all,
To get air travel emissions, miles must be entered into the Clean Air-Cool Planet calculator.
Mileage data is not tracked for our campus. So, I request air travel dollar data from OBFS. This number has become more reliable in recent years because of the T-card implementation.
Air travel dollars are converted into miles using the passenger yield (fares per mile) data from Airlines for America.
In fy 2013, dollars spent on air travel was $9,283,105.82. Passenger yield was $0.1514 (this is fy 12, apparently fy 13 was not yet available).
Divide the two, and you get 61,477,522
Best,
Stephanie
Hello Transportation SWATeam,
Per our discussion today, here are a couple of files and links.
Both of the mode choice surveys were done in completely different ways and not exactly for the purpose we are using them. It would probably be good to develop a survey specifically for this calculation purpose that can be administered by the UI in future years.
Thanks,
Morgan
