sb375 -- Preliminary Draft Staff Report on Senate Bill 375 (SB 375) Greenhouse Gas Emissions Reduction Target Update Process now available.

Posted: 26 Aug 2014 13:38:17
The Preliminary Draft Staff Report on SB 375 Greenhouse Gas
Emissions Reduction Target Update Process presents several
factors for consideration in updating the SB 375 targets and
target setting methodology, and is intended to solicit input from
stakeholders and Metropolitan Planning Organizations prior to the
October 2014 Board meeting on this topic. The Preliminary Draft
Staff Report on SB 375 Greenhouse Gas Emissions Reduction Target
Update Process is available at
http://www.arb.ca.gov/cc/sb375/pre_draft_target_update_sr.pdf . 


The Air Resources Board (ARB) is required to update the SB 375
targets at least every eight years, and may revise them every
four years.  In January 2014, ARB staff briefed the Board on the
status of SB 375 implementation.  At that time, the Board
directed staff to conduct additional public outreach with
stakeholders on a methodology for updating the targets, and
return to the Board in the fall for further discussion about a
preferred approach for updating the targets.  ARB staff will
consider all input received at three public workshops around the
State in September 2014, before preparing a revised staff report
with recommendations for target updates.  The revised staff
report and recommendations will be presented to the Board at a
public meeting in October 2014.

Background:  Senate Bill 375, the Sustainable Communities and
Climate Protection Act of 2008, supports the State’s climate
action goals to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by requiring
Metropolitan Planning Organizations to add a Sustainable
Communities Strategy to their Regional Transportation Plans.  The
Sustainable Communities Strategy is designed to better integrate
land use and transportation policies to meet long term
sustainability goals.  To help guide these regional planning
efforts, the California Air Resources Board is required to
establish regional greenhouse gas emission reduction targets for
2020 and 2035.  Initial targets for the Metropolitan Planning
Organizations’ regions were established in 2010.
