TransportationCommission | 2022-01-26 | 4 | Commissioner Weitze asked about the Easy Pass Programs and free bus tickets. He was concerned they were not targeting the right "carbon-intense" groups. He liked the program but wanted to make sure they were targeting people who would otherwise drive. Andrew Thomas, Director of Planning Buildings and Transportation, discussed Alameda's role with AC Transit and how they were looking at the E-Z Pass Program. Commissioner Kohlstrand noted that the E-Z Pass Program was not on target and wanted to know metrics that were being discussed to get in back on target. Vice-Chair Yuen wanted to see a dashboard with performance metrics to see where they were on track. She also wanted to see Greenhouse Gas measurements. Staff Member Meiler answered that a dashboard was in the works and explained other metrics that were in the works. She also discussed potential regional greenhouse gas emission measurements that locals could use. Commissioner Yuen then asked about existing housing for electrification. Director Thomas discussed existing incentive programs and potential requirements to encourage electrification. He added that this is something that would take time. Commissioner Alysha Nachtigall asked about data availability for car, electric vs. non-electric ownership. Staff Member Meiler answered that 2020 was all that was available at the moment. Vice-Chair Yuen asked about Congestion Pricing. Director Thomas said it was still in the plans and that it needed State Legislation to make it successful. They would have to work with the regional partners. Commissioner Kohlstrand made a motion to support the endorsement of the Climate Action Plan to the City Council. Also to urge the City Council to not only prioritize Climate Actions for funding in the city but also to strongly consider new local funding sources to facilitate concrete action towards meeting these goals. Commissioner Rentschler seconded the motion. A vote was taken by a raise of hands and the motion passed 6-0. TC Draft Minutes 4 1/26/22 | TransportationCommission/2022-01-26.pdf |
