    * I support CARB's inclusion of better community design and
reducing VMT, but the proposed reduction target for land use and
transportation of 2 million metric tons (MMT) of greenhouse gases
is way too low. The target should be at least 9-10 MMT.
    * The plan has omitted critical measures to create a world
class public transportation system and encourage innovative
congestion-relief programs that can ease people's commutes while
reducing emissions.
    * Rather than adopting a one-size-fits-all approach, CARB
should set firm targets for regions and authorize regions and
localities to choose from a suite of policy tools to achieve the
targets.
    * CARB should adopt a series of key policy tools currently
under consideration, including the Indirect Source Rule,
Pay-As-You-Drive Insurance, Congestion Pricing, and Incentive
Programs. These tools will help regions and localities achieve the
targets while generating revenues to implement greenhouse gas
reduction strategies and programs.
    * The plan should make it a top priority to invest in and
sustain public transportation and programs to improve
transportation efficiency and reduce congestion.
    * Cities, counties and regions should be given incentives to
conserve forests and working landscapes that sequester carbon,
provide local food, reduce wildfire hazard and help native plants
and animals adapt to a changing climate.
