POLICY: Regional air quality planning. Participate in air quality and regional planning efforts (e.g., RTP/SCS) with local, regional, and state agencies that improve local air quality to protect health and minimize the disproportionate impacts on sensitive population groups.

POLICY: Toxic chemical emissions. Coordinate with regional, state, and federal agencies, including the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, as well as large industrial employers to decrease toxic chemical emissions. Proactively explore potential partnerships and interventions to decrease potential exposure of residents to these chemicals.

POLICY: Reduce vehicle dependence. Partner with other local jurisdictions and agencies to advance strategies that reduce regional dependence on motor vehicles and decrease vehicle-related emissions.

POLICY: Urban tree canopy. Expand the tree canopy in residential neighborhoods, especially in Priority Equity Communities. Plant street trees that are native and low maintenance.

POLICY: Emissions from non-industrial land uses. Reduce particulate emissions from paved and unpaved roads, construction activities, and agricultural operations.

POLICY: City vehicle fleet. Transition the City’s vehicle fleet to cleaner fuel technologies as they reach the end of their useful lives.
