The plan calls for the State to assist in <br />the transformation of the transportation system to improve air quality, reduce congestion, and <br />increase the efficient use of fuel supplies with the least environmental and energy costs. To further <br />this policy, the plan identifies a number of strategies, including assistance to public agencies and <br />fleet operators in implementing incentive programs for zero -emission vehicles and their <br />infrastructure needs, and encouragement of urban designs that reduce vehicle miles traveled (VMT) <br />and accommodate pedestrian and bicycle access. <br />The CEC is in the process of adopting the 2019 Integrated Energy Policy Report.12 The 2019 <br />Integrated Energy Policy Report provides the results of the CEC's assessments of a variety of energy <br />issues facing California. Many of these issues will require action if the State is to meet its climate, <br />energy, air quality, and other environmental goals while maintaining energy reliability and <br />controlling costs. The 2019 Integrated Energy Policy Report covers a broad range of topics, including <br />implementation of SB 350, integrated resource planning, distributed energy resources, <br />transportation electrification, solutions to increase resiliency in the electricity sector, energy <br />efficiency, transportation electrification, barriers faced by disadvantaged communities, demand <br />response, transmission and landscape -scale planning, the California Energy Demand Preliminary <br />Forecast, the preliminary transportation energy demand forecast, renewable gas (in response to 513 <br />1383), updates on Southern California electricity reliability, the natural gas outlook, and climate <br />adaptation and resiliency. <br />3.6.2 Impact Analysis <br />a. Would the project result in a potentially significant environmental impact due to wasteful, <br />inefficient, or unnecessary consumption of energy resources during project construction or <br />operation? <br />Less Than Significant Impact. This analysis evaluates energy consumption for both construction and <br />operation of the proposed Project, including diesel fuel use for construction off -road equipment. <br />" California Energy Commission. 2019. 2019 Integrated Energy Policy Report.
