BRIEFING ON SUSTAINABLE COMMUNITY STRATEGY (SCS) <br />Associate Planner Melanie McCann provided a briefing on the SB 375 <br />California state law. This new law requires California's Air Resources Board <br />(GARB) to develop regional reduction targets for greenhouse gas emissions <br />(GHG), and prompts the creation of regional plans to reduce emissions from <br />vehicle use throughout the state. California's 18 Metropolitan Planning <br />Organizations (MPOs) have been tasked with creating "Sustainable <br />Community Strategies" (SCS). The MPOs are required to develop the SCS <br />through integrated land use and transportation planning and demonstrate an <br />ability to attain the proposed reduction targets by 2020 and 2035. <br />H.
