City Operations Transportation
To achieve the decarbonization goals of the GCP, the City must reduce the emissions from its fleet. This involves analyzing the usage patterns of fleet vehicles and eliminating extra vehicles. In addition, the City must begin to electrify its fleet to reduce tailpipe emissions.
The City should also promote policies that reduce vehicle emissions from city employees commuting to work. This can be accomplished by reducing the number of single passenger trips through HR policies and incentives that encourage the use of public transit or other carbon-free sources of transportation.
