Comment:
We need to give local governments some direction and incentive to curb their demonstrated tendency to approve urban and suburban sprawl. Due to sprawl, the number of per capita vehicle miles traveled is skyrocketing. The Scoping Plan’s target for emission reductions in the land use sector is way too low. It should add critical measures that discourage remote, auto-dependent growth and that encourage compact development close to jobs and transit. For example, the state should direct infrastructure dollars to projects where local government land use plans meet greenhouse gas reduction targets. Thank you.
