The City of Pleasanton will expand existing zero -emissions vehicle (ZEV) fueling infrastructure throughout the community and transition th�� municipal fleet to EVs. Even with shifts toward active and public transportation, many community members in Pleasanton will still own or lease cars due to proximity and convenience. Acknowledging that car use will continue to persist (and perhaps dominate), this strategy is pivotal to reducing Pleasanton's emissions. By engaging the local community, including school districts and regional organizations, the City of Pleasanton will educate key audiences and identify funding partnerships to support the switch to ZEVs (e.g., electric or.hydrogen-fuel celled vehicles). This switch will not only reduce local GHG emissions, but also improve local air quality—especially near major roadways. upporting Actions Cumulative Emissions Reduced through 2030 tMTCOze) P5.

The City will continue to expand bicycle infrastructure, encourage transit ridership, and invest in school programs that reduce VMT for curricular and co -curricular activities. The City's investments in active, shared, and public transportation must expand into all areas of the city, and ensure reliable access to alternative transportation options. Convenience, affordability, and ease of use are imperative to the success of alternative transportation programs, as options that are inconvenient and difficult to navigate will likely not be used.

This strategy will prioritize housing near transit and job centers and encourage sustainable land development for new projects that get built. Current hurdles to active and public transit include convenience and accessibility linked to land use patterns in Pleasanton. Some of these issues can be solved for future development through conscious efforts to develop with sustainable principles from plan concept to implementation. upporting Actions Cumulative Emissions Reduced through 2030 (I TITCO2e) ment borhood Develoome Pleasanton Climate Action Plan 2.0 18,800 . 16,600 Transportation & Land Use 141
