State Issues

  • AB 32, California's Global Warming Solutions Act, is creating an enormous opportunity to promote smart land use and more sustainable transportation.
  • Transportation accounts for nearly 40% of California's GHG emissions. TransForm is working to enable the Bay Area and other California regions to raise fees on gas or vehicles in order to reduce emissions and improve our transportation system.
  • Join TransForm, Sierra Club and others in supporting Proposition 1A. High Speed Rail could be a critical part of California's future, promoting smarter land use while reducing GHG emissions.
  • TransForm supports important legislation as requested by organizations that are members of the regional coalition, and sometimes sponsors important transportation measures.
  • Just as ridership was making record surges, there were massive state budget cuts for public transit funding. We need both short and long-term solutions to this crisis.
