A very quick and relatively simple way to achieve early results is
to require all government offices (including local government,
special districts, etc.) to modify work schedules to 4/10 days.
This has been done by a number of agencies and has been required
of State Agencies by the Governor of Utah. It saves fuel costs for
employees and energy costs for employers.  

Also, agressively pursuing teleworking options for employees where
possible should be encouraged and perhaps incentivized. I have
observed (with long experience in government) that the primary
barriers to greatly expanded teleworking for employees is a
social/societal/management barrier rather than a technological
one. Even moderatly-increased teleworking could reap large
benefits in fuel and emissions savings.
