Comment | Global warming is the key challenge of our time. Meeting this challenge requires fundamental changes in the way we grow our communities. In the AB 32 Scoping Plan, we would like to see CARB increase the land use target from 5 million metric tons (MMT) of CO2 equivalent to 11-14 MMT. The higher target and the benefits of dense, mixed-use development are achievable with policies California is already considering. Setting a higher target for the land use sector will signal to the world that new land use patterns are a high priority in the fight against global warming. A higher target should be coupled with a commitment to provide financial resources, technical assistance, and other support to help regions, local governments, and transportation agencies achieve the target. As a devoted recumbent bicycle rider I hope you will increase support for more bike-ways through out the Bay Area. One of the best (and greenest) ways to appreciate and enjoy where we live is via bicycle. Thanks for your time and consideration. Sincerely, Craig Rush |
