Page 31 of the Scoping Docment, section 13, dicusses local
government efforts in setting quantifiable emission reduction
targets.  I would ask that consideration in the next step of
review combining this disucssion with transportation.  

The reason for this is that County by County all local
juridictions come together in their Congestion Management Agencies
and plan transportations systems and have strong land use
dicussions as part of those processes.  Further, as in the Bay
Area, several CMA's are coordinating Climate protection efforts or
starting the process to do so.

Many local governments have already begun, as was noted, climate
protection efforts.  These efforts are happening at the most local
level and delivering immediate results.

I would request that those efforts are acknowledged, measured and
local entitieis gvien state support to further colloborate locally
on regional emission reductions.  ARB should set the Goals and
supoport local efforts to acheive.  

I have attached our local effort we intitited with Bay Area Air
Quality District support.  It has brought all of our juridictions
together and we are moving towards a regional goal delivery.

Finally, I would recommend that local efforts that combine land
use and transportation planning into a wholistic approach be
supported.

Thank you.
