| Comment |
For decades, the Sierra Club has favored elimination of subsidies for parking, as shown in http://sierraclub.org/policy/conservation/trans.aspx On July 24, 2010 Sierra Club California passed the following resolution regarding parking: More Equitable and Eco-Friendly Car Parking Policy Proposed Resolution for CNRCC July 24, 2010, Prepared June 16, 2010 by Energy-Climate Committee Contact: Mike Bullock, CNRCC Energy-Climate Committee: 760-754-8025, mike_bullock@earthlink.net. RESOLUTION: Sierra Club California supports equitable changes in parking policies to reduce vehicle miles traveled (VMT) and greenhouse gas emissions. Some methods include eliminating or reducing minimum parking requirements (in off-street parking ordinances and any land use actions), unbundling car parking costs, operating shared parking, and congestion pricing. Policies must protect the privacy of drivers, consider disabled and low-income drivers, and protect the public’s right to access public lands and, within the coastal zone, visitor serving facilities. |
