Chairman Nichols

Sacramento, CA 95812

 

Dear Nichols,

 

As a Councilmember in Redlands, California, I encourage the
California

Air Resources Board to pursue vigorous implementation of SB 375

(Steinberg). This law will help California lead the way in the

implementation of "smart growth" economic development

policies that promote healthier communities  and reduce harmful
air

pollutants and greenhouse gases. As I stated in testimony before
your

Commission during the Scoping Plan discussions changes to land use
and

transportation policy are important to reducing emissions, and SB
375

does this by encouraging improved land use and transportation
planning

and alternatives to driving, including:

 

*neighborhood reinvestment and redevelopment

*more robust and effective transit programs

*more walkable, compact communities connected by transit

*community design and infrastructure that supports walking and
biking

 

We know these programs will lead to a smart economic development
policy

at the same time that they generate excellent health benefits and

address global warming with more jobs, cleaner air, and less time
in

traffic. These should be priority goals in California.

 

Sincerely,

 

Mr. Jon Harrison
