Comment:
I believe that CARB needs to give more emphasis to land use planning measures that can reduce the need to drive automobiles. Mixed-use developments allow people to live and work in the same building. Intensive development along transit lines can increase transit use. Bike lanes promote safe bicycle commuting to work and a healthful lifestyle. Pedestrian improvements make transit use and walking more comfortable. It has been estimated that smart land use planning can reduce Greenhouse Gases by 33%, much more than is credited in this plan. Similarly, improvements in mass transit will get people to use this alternative and reduce vehicle pollutants. Thanks for your consideration.
