350 Bay Area aims to eliminate greenhouse gases from transportation in California, and the SF Bay Area in particular. To do this we need to reduce car use by supporting transit, bikes, walking, and transit oriented land use, and we need to convert all remaining vehicles to electric–cars, trucks, buses, trains and ships too! (We’re not sure how to deal with airplanes yet, but take the train if you can!)

California has a target date of 2035 to stop the sale of gas cars.  While this is ambitious, it is too late to achieve the State’s goals of 40% GHG reduction by 2030 and carbon neutrality by 2045.  We need to end the sale of internal combustion engine vehicles ASAP, and no later than 2035.

Agencies such as MTC and CalTrans have not taken significant steps to help meet the State’s goals.  We need to push for state and local action to support installation of EV chargers–both public and in homes.  And we need to support public transit, walking, biking and construction of Transit Oriented Communities.

Right now we need voters to SUPPORT the Regional Transit Measure to avoid catastrophic cuts to transit.  And we need voters to OPPOSE Proposition 45.  Here is a video message about Prop 45 and Transportation.  And here is a guide to all the state propositions and the Regional Transit Measure.
