BRT Simple Calculator Of Project Effects (SCOPE)
About
Bus rapid transit (BRT) is a powerful public transit solution that can move large numbers of passengers in cleaner buses, helping cities deliver on their climate goals. Building on the release of the 2024 BRT Standard and as part of ITDP’s year of the bus, the BRT Simple Calculator Of Project Effects (SCOPE) is a user-friendly spreadsheet tool that estimates the potential climate and air quality impacts of these projects.
Stay up-to-date on other ITDP model releases and access additional SCOPE tools for protected bike lanes and off-street parking.
The BRT SCOPE tool includes robust default values, but is also fully customizable, allowing users in both data-rich and data-poor contexts to calculate preliminary estimates of climate impacts.
It can be used by development banks and cities to make the case for funding BRT as a powerful sustainable transport solution at a moment where more investment is critical to the future of public transport systems.
Note: The BRT SCOPE tool is an update to ITDP’s BRT Transport Emissions Evaluation Model for Projects (TEEMP) with new and improved data and methods.
