TransportationCommission | 2017-11-15 | 6 | Staff Member Ott said the Transportation Choices Plan evaluated the reduction in GHG emissions the plan would result in. She said the plan should put the city on track to exceed the transportation-related emissions reduction targets. Commissioner Miley said the public would want to see the tangible items that would be helping us meet the goals shown in the data. Chair Bellows opened the public hearing. Pat Potter, CASA and Bike Walk Alameda, said the Transportation Choices Plan does not address the Bicycle and Ped Plans, which will be important for meeting our GHG goals. She said we need to really talk to people to figure out what way to get people to take the bus or ride a bike. Ruth Abbe, CASA, said they have not been very active on transportation issues in the past. She said that acknowledging that transportation is responsible for 52% of our GHG emissions means they will be taking a more active role in transportation issues. She encouraged the commissioners to fully participate in the development of the Climate Action Plan to aspire to some attainable goals in the plan. Chair Bellows closed the public hearing. Commissioner Miley said that the transportation share shows how our bike and pedestrian plans need to chip away at our GHG numbers. Staff Member Garland asked for an informal response from each commissioner about whether the plan was headed in the right direction or not. Chair Bellows said the speaker's comments about the bike and pedestrian plan effects on the plan. She asked to talk about the LimeBikes. She said they are everywhere, but there are no helmets. Staff Member Ott said they are looking at ways to help get minors wearing helmets when riding. She said there have been over 11,000 trips since the launch with about 350 per day. 6.
