Comment:
The Southern California Association of Government(SCAG) plan to reduce by five to six percent the per capita greenhouse gas(GHG) emissions from the 2005 levels is woefully inadequate. They will probably expect the new mileage standards will take care of this and do very little to reduce vehicle miles traveled(VMT). The reduction of GHG should be set at a higher percentage and that which is accomplished through higher mileage rates of cars/light trucks should not be counted. The County of Riverside approved the leapfrog 11,250 unit project called the Villages of Lakeview in the middle of farmland. This happened in March of 2010 and because it has almost no permanent jobs there will be almost 15,000 Daily Commuters looking for work on our already clogged roadways. Many of them will drive to another County, because Riverside County has very few. Reduce GHG through a reduction in VMT and set a higher percentage rate-- especially for SCAG which has a much larger percentage of GHG emissions than any other MPO region or combination of several MPO regions. Help western Riverside County residents get out of being in a non attainment area through your actions.
