2. Work Program For projecting future VMT, the ESA team will use City- provided projections of 2020 land uses and local roadway improvements. We will confirm with the City which regional roadway improvements to include that could affect VMT in Pleasanton, such as the Stoneridge Drive extension. Under this task, Fehr & Peers will run the year 2020 Model to produce VMT and vehicle hours traveled (VHT) estimates by speed bin to be used in the GHG estimates. The 2020 Model tun will represent the anticipated development of the City that is likely to occur by 2020, as currently envisioned by the General Plan Update. Subtask 2c — Emissions Reduction Targets AB 32 directs the state to reduce state -wide GHG emissions to 1990 levels by 2020, while Executive Order S -21 -09 sets a long -term goal of 80% emissions reduction below 1990 levels by the year 2050. However, an accurate assessment of GHG emissions in 1990 is often elusive due to gaps in data availability and quality In lieu of such data, CARB recommends that local governments target their 2020 emissions at 15% below current levels (2005), a percentage that parallels the statewide 2020 commitment. ESA assumes that the CARB recommendation will be satisfactory but we will examine the unique characteristics of Pleasanton (e.g., emissions contribution from two major freeways) to determine if a projection of 1990 emissions is warranted that involves going beyond population adjustment. If so, we will provide a separate cost estimate for developing a 1990 inventory and comparing methods (1990 levels vs. 15% below current levels) to establish the most appropriate target for the County. Task 2 Deliverables: • Results of ACMMA modeling with base year VMT /VHT estimate • Report on analysis and adjustment of 2005 city operations and community-wide emissions inventories, for City review and comment. Task 3: Evaluate Best - Suited Measures with Cost/Benefit Analysis The purpose of this task is to identify, develop, and describe potential GHG emission reduction programs, policies, and measures, and to develop a CAP Development Memo for review by City staff and for presentation at community workshops (see Task 5). We will analyze and develop both community-wide actions and municipal government actions. Overall, the key to a successful CAP will be to build upon previous city energy conservation efforts, transportation, solid waste and water efficiency initiatives, and other sustainability projects, and to analyze and address gaps City of Pleasanton Climate Action Plan 2 -9 •
