sb375 -- Release of ARB Staff’s Technical Evaluation of the Sustainable Communities Strategy for the Shasta Regional Transportation Agency
Posted: 19 Oct 2015 12:35:31
ARB Staff’s Technical Evaluation of the Sustainable Communities Strategy (SCS) for the Shasta Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO) region is now posted. The staff of the California Air Resources Board (ARB or Board) has completed its technical review of the greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions reductions quantification for Shasta Regional Transportation Agency’s (SRTA) SCS. A staff report has been completed to document the staff’s findings that SRTA’s SCS would, if implemented, achieve the regional GHG emissions targets set by the Board. The staff report is available from ARB’s SB375 website at http://www.arb.ca.gov/cc/sb375/sb375.htm Background: California State law (the Sustainable Communities and Climate Protection Act of 2008, Sustainable Communities Act or SB 375, Chapter 728, Statutes of 2008) requires each of the State’s MPOs to prepare an SCS to meet the regional GHG emissions reduction targets for 2020 and 2035, set by the Board. The statute also requires ARB to review each MPO’s determination that its SCS would, if implemented, achieve the GHG emissions reduction targets. On October 22, 2015, the Board will consider whether to accept or reject SRTA’s determination that its SCS would meet the targets for 2020 and 2035. ARB staff is recommending that the Board accept the SCS as meeting the targets. This item will be on the consent agenda and therefore there will be no staff presentation. The agenda for the October 22, 2015 public meeting is posted at http://www.arb.ca.gov/board/ma/2015/ma102215.pdf Public Meeting Information: Date: October 22, 2015 Time: 9:00 a.m. Location: South Coast Air Quality Management District Headquarters 21865 Copley Drive Diamond Bar, California 91765 Directions, transportation options, and parking information for the public meeting are available at: http://www.aqmd.gov/contact For more information regarding the technical evaluation and staff report for SRTA’s greenhouse gas determination, please contact Ms. Jennifer Gray, Air Pollution Specialist, at jennifer.gray@arb.ca.gov or (916) 327-0027.
