SB 375: Housing, roads, and global warming (2008)

 
CLCV Supported
Passed Senate 21-15 (6/7/07)
Held in Assembly Appropriations Committee (2007)
Passed Assembly 49-22 (8/25/08)
Passed Senate concurrence 25-14 (8/30/08)
Signed by the Governor (9/30/08)

Far-flung subdivisions on prime farmland and valuable resource lands. Traffic congestion and mind-numbing commutes. Hours in a car instead of at home or work. Air pollution. And increased greenhouse gas emissions from all the vehicle miles traveled. They are all a result of bad transportation and land use decisions, and they must be changed for California to have any chance of meeting its greenhouse gas emission reduction targets. SB 375 (Steinberg) establishes a trailblazing set of financial and regulatory incentives for developers and local governments to pursue housing and transportation projects that will reduce GHG emissions on a regional basis. Supported by environmentalists, developers, local governments and affordable housing advocates, SB 375 is now a model for change in other states and the nation.
