The train has not left the station! Transit and Move San Diego have a chance to lead the way in the new Sustainable Communities Strategy.
In 2008, the Senate passed SB 375, a bill designed to reduce greenhouse gas emissions in the state of California by creating regional emission reduction levels set by the California Air Resources Board. The aim of the bill is to reduce emissions by changing land use planning under a new required element of the Regional Transportation Plan, the Sustainable Community Strategy.
By encouraging more compact development near urban and transit centers, we can reduce urban sprawl, encourage better transportation practices and reduce overall vehicle miles traveled (i.e. driving), thereby reducing greenhouse gas emissions.
To strengthen our voice in this public process, Move San Diego is in the process of creating an ambitious coalition that will drive transportation policy in the 21st century toward livable, transit oriented communities. We aim to bring together advocates from labor, low income, senior, housing , technology, business, environment, public health, real estate and development sectors to build a platform for supporting the Sustainable Communities Strategy.
