2. Disclaimers I’m a bureaucrat, not a lawyer
I’m a planner, not an engineer
Prediction is difficult, especially about the future
I’m from the government and I’m here to help

3. Climate Action Plans Adopted by Cities and Counties
Roadmap to reduce greenhouse gas emissions
Provides regulatory benefits if qualified
Community Emissions Inventory & forecast of future emissions
Targets for emissions reductions consistent with state goals
Quantified reduction measures and monitoring
Environmental review and public process

4. Drafting a CAP – A three step process
See if you need local measures
If not, can you do it with only City/County operations?
If not, get reductions from the private sector

5. Step 1 – Do you need local measures?
State measures achieved 2020 goals
1990 GHG levels by 2020 (AB 32)
State measures alone will not achieve 2030 goals
40% below 1990 levels by 2030 (SB 32)

6. Step 2 – Public Fleets City of Sacramento County of Sacramento
75% emission reduction from public fleet by 2020
Renewable Diesel
County of Sacramento
Replace small and mid-size sedans with hybrids
Elk Grove
12-15% alt/hybrid in fleet

7. A Community Discussion about reductions

8. Step 3 – Private Sector City of Sacramento General Plan Policy M 1.5.4
The City shall support its partner agencies in their efforts to remove gross polluters and rapid adoption of zero- and low-emission vehicles in the regional fleet
Elk Grove
Environmentally Preferable Purchasing

9. Lessons for Fleet Managers
Public Fleets
Reductions in operations are easier and more politically palatable than requirements on the greater community
Private Fleets
Clean fleet contracting may be in your future

10. AQMPs - The Development Community
Air Quality Mitigation Plans
Often for large projects or new growth areas
Typically between 15% – 35% reduction target
Greenhouse Gas Reduction Plans
In areas without qualified Climate Action Plans
May be required to achieve no-net increase

11. Sustainable Fleets can count as mitigation
Performance standards need to be met before building permits issued
Infeasible measures can be swapped out with fleet reductions
Drop in fuels can be used
Folsom Dam Raise must use low carbon fuel or purchase carbon credits

12. Lessons for fleets Clean fleets can be on-site mitigation requirements
Clean fleets can reduce project fees

13. Corporate Social Responsibility Plans
People, Planet, Profits
Walmart Hurricane Katrina
Equipment, Drivers & Operational Changes
2017 green fleet of the year – ACT Expo
CSR is how you think about clean fleets in the context of your company

14. CSRs and Fleets Enhances the Brand Gives regulatory flexibility
Gives contracting flexibility
More predictable fueling fees
