presents certain limitations; however, this projection does seem plausible given the suburban <br />location of University City, and consequently it’s corresponding inability to spatially grow. <br />Commercial/Industrial: <br />The projected change in both the community’s commercial and industrial sectors was determined <br />by estimating the annual percent change in the number of jobs in each of these sectors. As with <br />the other sectors, the commercial and industrial sectors are expected to expand at a very slow <br />rate, if at all. The East-West Gateway Council of Governments projects a 1.0% growth rate <br />between 2008 and 2020. <br />Transportation: <br />For the transportation sector, projected growth in energy demand and GHG emissions was <br />obtained from a traffic volume report developed by the East-West Gateway Council of <br />xviii <br />Governments. This comprehensive report features actual VMT growth data from 1998-2005. <br />The projection developed from this report predicts a 0.6% increase in the vehicle-miles-traveled <br />(VMT) between 2008 and 2020. <br /> <br /> <br />Waste: <br />As with the residential sector, the primary determinate for growth in waste sector emissions is <br />population. Therefore, the average annual population growth rate, 0.0%, was used to estimate <br />future emissions resulting from the waste sector. <br />2005 Government Operations Emissions Inventory <br />The framework of scopes discussed in the Community Emissions Inventory equally applies to <br />the Government Operations Emissions Inventory. The sources of emissions that are being <br />counted in Scope 1 and 2 of the Government Inventory are facilities and equipment owned and <br />operated by the City. The Information Items of the Government Operations Inventory are <br />generally lifecycle emissions sources (such as the decomposition of waste), and emissions <br />sources that the City does not own, but may exhibit significant influence over (such as employee <br />commute patterns). The Government Operations Inventory includes Scope 1, Scope 2, and <br />iii <br />Scope 3 emissions from the following sectors: <br /> <br /> <br />Buildings & Facilities <br /> <br /> <br />Streetlights & Traffic Signals <br /> <br /> <br />Solid Waste Facilities <br /> <br /> <br />Vehicle Fleet <br /> <br /> <br />Employee Commute <br /> <br /> <br />Other Process Fugitive Sources <br /> <br /> <br />Mobile Source Refrigerants <br /> <br />2010-2011 Greenhouse Gas Emissions Inventory, City of University City, MO 26 <br /> <br /> <br />
