Key strategies

  • Supporting stronger fuel efficiency standards in line with Obama-era rules that aimed for about 54 miles/gallon by 2025.

  • Establishing state-level clean truck rules that gradually ramp-up fuel standards and eventually require all new trucks sold in the state to be zero- emission.

  • Facilitating the extension of electric vehicle charging networks by streamlining permitting needed to add new charging stations, and offering public funds to support private efforts.

  • Requiring electric vehicle charging stations and bike racks in major projects.

  • Incentivizing electric and hybrid cars through rebates, tax credits, lower registration fees, charging networks, and special access to carpool lanes.

  • Investing in mass transit and electric buses.

  • Addressing the last-mile problem, where the last leg of a trip keeps public transit out of reach for many residents.

  • Revisiting zoning codes that make it difficult to build walkable neighborhoods.
