Dear Chairman Nichols,

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. 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,

Dr. Terry McKittrick
