The strategies and actions included in the CAP 2.0 aim to meet the needs and reflect the values and concerns of t -ie Pleasanton community. The primary pathway to reduce transportation Emissions is to take advantage of zero - emissions electricity to electrify vehicles and buildings. The City will also build out and connect its bicycle, pedestrian, and transit network to further reduce emissions from remaining gas -powered vehicles, provide viable travel alternatives, and support healthy lifestyles. Natural gas emissions is also a key component on the primary pathway to reduce emissions. in July 2021, the Pleasanton City Council made the decision to opt into EBCE's 100% renewable energy portfolio which will help to make significant progress in this area. Since electrified buildings still use energy, electrification will be complemented by expanding green building and energy conservation and efficiency efforts, which also build resilience to extreme heat and fluctuations in the power supply.

The remaining reductions will come largely from implementing existing state law on food waste reduction and recovery and storing carbon on the landscape through an Urban Forest Master Plan. To further address the impacts of climate change and support a healthy environment for Pleasanton residents to live, work, and play, the City will continue a number of ongoing efforts.
