Dear Chairman Nichols, I am writing to thank you for your leadership on climate change policy and to encourage the California Air Resources Board to support public health by establishing the most ambitious regional greenhouse gas reduction targets possible under SB375. Establishing strong targets will clearly signal the need for a departure from business as usual sprawl and support more sustainable communities throughout California where residents have healthier, physically active walking, biking or transit alternatives to driving. Improving California’s land use and transportation planning processes to reduce our dependency on driving offers a wide range of benefits to our communities. Along with addressing our ongoing air pollution-related public health crisis and cutting our contributions to climate change, promoting opportunities for daily physical activity will reduce the burdens faced by our children, the elderly and others living with chronic illnesses like asthma, obesity, diabetes and depression. Please continue to support public health by establishing strong regional greenhouse gas targets.
