This paper describes a running emissions sensitivity analysis of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's (EPA's) MOVES2010b model at the project level through the implementation of the Public Transit Greenhouse Gas (GHG) Emissions Management Calculator. MOVES model running emissions for diesel transit buses were estimated for 17 heavy-duty transit bus driving cycles across 12 different locations and meteorological conditions. The preliminary results examine the estimated annual diesel transit bus NOX and CO2e emissions. With an understanding of the scaled tractive power operating mode bin distribution of a driving cycle and the MOVES model emission rates, the annual emissions can be analyzed and compared. The results obtained from this sensitivity analysis indicate the potential usefulness of the Public Transit GHG Emissions Management Calculator for use in evaluating emissions across driving cycles and environmental operating conditions in a comparative mode.
