Jul 16, 2010 Chairman Nichols 1001 I Street Sacramento, CA 95812 Dear Nichols, As a Councilmember in Redlands, California, 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. As I stated in testimony before your Commission during the Scoping Plan discussions changes to land use and transportation policy are important to reducing emissions, and 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, Mr. Jon Harrison Redlands, CA 92373 (909) 809-9934
