Like many cities, Pleasanton's major emissions sources are on -road transportation, especially from commercial and passenger vehicles, and building energy, especially natural gas consumption. In 2017, most of Pleasanton's GHG emissions came from three sources (Figure 2) • Transportation (on -road and off-road transportation) • Building natural gas use (residential and non-residential buildings) • Building electricity use (residential and non-residential buildings) As measured in the inventories, between 2005 and 2017, Pleasanton community GHG emissions have declined 28%, exceeding the GHG emissions reduction target established in the CAP 1.0 (Figure 3). Even as Pleasanton has continued to experience a growing population and economy, the community achieved a per capita emissions reduction of 37%. Figure 3.
