omb -- June 2017 Workshops on Senate Bill 375 Sustainable Communities Program Regional Greenhouse Gas Reduction Targets Update

Posted: 02 Jun 2017 15:58:23
Attention Business owners - your region is planning how it will
balance industrial, housing, retail,  green space and
transportation corridors/modes for the future.  Small business
voices are needed to inform these conversations and decisions. 
How will your employees get to work (bicycle, walking, transit,
personal vehicle)?  What kind of jobs will be near housing or
public spaces?  How can open green space provide buffers between
residential and industrial areas? 
	 
Listen, learn, contribute.  Helping your region think about what
is needed for communities that are  environmentally and
economically sustainable is critical.  Workshops in Bakersfield,
Los Angeles, San Francisco (see below)

Background

The Sustainable Communities and Climate Protection Act of 2008,
or SB 375, requires MPOs to add a Sustainable Communities
Strategy (SCS) to their Regional Transportation Plans. The intent
of the SCS is to better integrate land use and transportation
policies to meet long-term sustainability goals.  To help guide
these regional planning efforts, CARB is required to establish
regional GHG emission reduction targets for 2020 and 2035. CARB
adopted initial targets for the MPO regions in 2010. CARB is
required to update the targets at least every eight years, and
may revise them every four years.  

In August 2014, CARB staff released a preliminary draft staff
report on the status of SB 375 efforts and factors that ARB could
consider during development of the methodology to update the
targets.  CARB staff discussed this preliminary draft staff
report at three public workshops during September 2014 and
presented the report to the Board in October 2014.  Since that
time, CARB staff continued to engage stakeholders and the MPOs on
the target update process through regular stakeholder meetings,
additional public workshops, and an informational report to the
Board in March 2017.  

The June 2017 workshops are an opportunity for the public to
learn more about, as well as provide feedback to CARB staff on
the draft proposal for target updates.
