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.
