The document discusses the Sustainable Communities Strategy (SCS), which is a requirement of California's Sustainable Communities and Climate Protection Act of 2008 (SB 375). The SCS is a long-range plan that integrates transportation, housing, and land-use policies to meet greenhouse gas reduction targets set by the state. It aims to concentrate development in existing communities and plan transportation networks that reduce driving. Regional agencies like MTC and ABAG are responsible for developing the SCS through consultation with local governments and stakeholders.

Regional Transportation Plans Require: A Policy Element that describes transportation issues, needs, goals, objectives, An Action Element that describes the programs and actions necessary to implement the plan A Financial Element that summarizes the cost of Plan implementation A Sustainable Communities Strategy : an integrated transportation/land use plan that meets the ARB targets for GHG emissions from autos and light trucks (new) What is the Sustainable Communities Strategy

The SCS is a long-range regional land use/transportation plan intended to: Meet the regions GHG reduction target, as given by state Air Resources Board House all growth within the region, including very low and low income households Identify resource areas Identify transportation network to meet long-range needs Meet Federal Conformity requirements What is the Sustainable Communities Strategy
SB375 and the SCS is the land use/transportation component of AB32: AB 32 requires that CA reduce GHGs to 1990 levels by 2020 AB32 covers all industry segments, accept land use/transportation SB 375 was developed to address land use/transportation industry (specifically cars and light trucks) What is the Sustainable Communities Strategy Sources: USEIA, BAAQMD Transportation : 48 % Bay Area Transportation: 38% California
The SCS is to be prepared by regional agencies in consultation with CMAs and local governments: ABAG: land use components, i.e. Projections and RHNA MTC: transportation network; Regional Transportation Plan Air District: develop GHG reduction strategies, CARB consultation, ISR rule BCDC: Bay Plan Amendment, sea-level rise adaptation Local Governments: land use inputs for regional model, preferred transportation projects, housing elements Both ABAG and MTC officially adopt the SCS as part of RTP (adopted by MTC) Bay Area SCS Responsibilities

Strategies for GHG Reductions Source: A Bay Area Resource Guide, MTC, September 2009 Estimated Reductions from Cars and Light Trucks by 2020 Part Strategy Percentage Reduction Achieved Via 1 Improve Vehicles and Fuels 29.6% ARB/Pavley: ~30% 2 Improve Transportation Infrastructure 18.4 SCS: ~25% 3 Focus Growth 6.6 4 Transportation Behavior 9.6 APS: ~10% 5 Other Strategies 0.0 Grand Total 64.2% ~65%
Housing Target SB375 requires that the SCS identify areas within the region sufficient to house all the population of the region, including all economic segments of the population...taking into account net migration into the region, household formation and employment growth; identify areas within the region sufficient to house an eight-year projection of the regional housing need for the region

Editor's Notes

  • #2: Martin E.
  • #3: (Proposed New 際際滷) Some of the Directors may be unfamiliar with the various existing elements of the RTP Martin E.
  • #4: (Proposed New 際際滷) Underscore internal consistency requirement similar to local General Plans Martin E.
  • #5: I fixed the typo in bullet 4 range Paul/Christie
  • #6: Suggestions: Give a specific percentage on how reducing 2020 to 1990 translates (first sub-bullet). i.e. This corresponds with a 40% reduction compared with Business as Usual. 2) Add to third sub bullet: specifically cars and light trucks 3) Show total transportation sector split between Cars/Light Trucks and remaining sectors (freight/rail/air/seaports).
  • #7: Change first bullet: in consultation with local governments. Mention CMAs?
  • #8: OK
  • #9: Added the to the title; fixed punctuation in 2 nd bullet.
  • #10: (Title Change) Californias Climate Change Efforts are Occurring at the State, Regional and Local Level. Local Plans have Transportation and Land Use Elements as Part of an Each Overall Plan There is Some Overlap, But It is Difficult for CAPs to Address Regional Travel The RTP and SCS Should Recognize Local and County Level Efforts
  • #11: (New 5 th , change bullet 6)
  • #12: Proposed Title change.
  • #13: New Table making use of the recently published Resource Guide to underscore that ARB will take the majority of the reductions off the top for vehicle technology and fuels, that the SCS can have significant additional reduction effects, and the APS is available if further reductions are needed.
  • #14: In order to identify an 25 and 8 year housing need: Region must estimate household formation, labor force, in-migration and inter-regional commuters out to year 2040 (25 year housing forecast) Region and local partners work together to define 8 and 25 year regional housing need (begin January 2010) Final 25 year housing goal/need set by September 2010 Draft 8 year housing goal/need set by September 2010 Begin consultation with HCD on 25 and 8 yr regional housing need (July 2011) Final 8 year housing goal/need set by March 2013 (with adoption of RHNA and SCS)
