emissions from transportation, despite determining
that nearly half of the state’s GHG emissions are
generated by the transportation sector.

Transportation Commission is conducting a thorough
process to revise the statewide Regional
Transportation Plan Guidelines, in response to all

RTPs to contain a sustainable communities strategy,
which attempts to reduce greenhouse gas emissions to
meet a target set by the State Air Resources Board.
