GREEN HOUSE GAS (GHG) EMISSIONS ANALYSIS
Reducing the effects of climate change and specifically reducing on-road mobile source emissions of greenhouse gases is a key policy initiative of both Caltrans and the City of San Luis Obispo. As such, a generalized “carbon footprint” assessment was performed for each design alternative. This analysis entailed generating composite emission rates specific to San Luis Obispo’s motor vehicle fleet demographic, fuel type (i.e., gas, diesel, electric, etc.) and technology group distributions. Given that the latest Emission Factors (EMFAC) model from the California Air Resources Board (EMFAC25) reflects currently rescinded or pending regulations affecting EV adoption rates, a 2025 analysis year was preferred over an outyear forecast. Hence, 2025 composite emission rates were applied to 2050 forecasts of vehicle activity.
As shown in Table 7, the 2050 VISSIM microsimulation vehicle activity output for both AM and PM peak hours was allocated to the appropriate speed bin. This activity is multiplied by the EMFAC25 composite emission rate associated with each speed bin to generate total CO2 missions2. The final results are tallied at the bottom of the table and expressed in tons (AM and PM Peak Hour combined).
The results indicate that Alternative 2B generates the least amount of peak hour CO2 (smallest carbon footprint). The No Build condition is not reported as it is not comparable within Vissim to the other alternatives given there is no overcrossing. An emissions comparison would require a much larger area to capture the changes in travel patterns with the overcrossing, which is beyond the scope of this analysis.
2 Of the three GHG components (Carbon dioxide (CO2), Methane (CH4), and Nitrous oxide (N2O)) only CO2 was modeled.

SUMMARY
The operational results presented above show that the Build Alternatives generally operate better than the No Build. Table 8 provides a performance summary of all Alternatives for delay, average and 95th percentile queue, and GHG Emissions. The following is a summary of how the performance measures were quantified:
LOS
Excellent Performance is if the intersection operates at LOS D or better and all movements are better than LOS F
Acceptable Performance is if there are any LOS F movements, but the intersection still operates better than LOS D
Moderate Performance is if the intersection operates worse than LOS D but not at LOS F Poor Performance is if the intersection operates at LOS F Average / 95th Percentile Queue
Excellent Performance if queues are contained within storage and no queues extend to an upstream intersection
Acceptable Performance if a storage lane is exceeded or queues back to upstream intersection, but not to Higuera Street
Moderate Performance if a queue extends back to Higuera Street Poor Performance if a queue backs onto US 101
US 101 AND PRADO ROAD INTERCHANGE • SENSITIVITY ANALYSIS • OCTOBER 2025 22 Emissions
Excellent Performance if less than 20 tons of emissions Acceptable Performance if between 20 and 21 tons of emissions Moderate Performance if between 21 and 22 tons of emissions Poor Performance if greater than 22 tons of emissions The results show that Alternative 2B (2-lane overcrossing with westbound right at the US 101 NB ramps channelized) generally performs better than the other Alternatives. It should be noted that while Alternative 3 performs similarly to Alternative 2B, the 95th percentile queue on the US 101 NB off-ramp extends back onto US 101, making this a fatal flaw without additional mitigation (e.g., additional lanes or signalizing the roundabout to manage queues) to reduce the queue spillback onto US 101. This would require additional costs and no longer meet the intent of the Alternative (smaller footprint of the overcrossing).

Vehicle movement LOS values are based on average delay and v/c ratio (degree of saturation) per movement.
LOS F will result if v/c >1 irrespective of movement delay value (does not apply for approaches and intersection).
Intersection and Approach LOS values are based on average delay for all movements (v/c not used as specified in HCM 6).
