12 o Implementing above market rate pricing, o Validating parking only for invited guests, o Not providing employee parking and transportation allowances, and o Educating employees about available alternatives. • Adopting employer trip reduction measures to reduce employee trips such as vanpool and carpool programs, providing end-of-trip facilities, and telecommuting programs including but not limited to measures that: o Provide car-sharing, bike sharing, and ride-sharing programs, o Provide transit passes, o Shift single occupancy vehicle trips to carpooling or vanpooling, for example providing ride-matching services, o Provide incentives or subsidies that increase that use of modes other than single- occupancy vehicle, and o Provide on-site amenities at places of work, such as priority parking for carpools and vanpools, secure bike parking, and showers and locker rooms. Furthermore, to mitigate the GHG impacts from construction and operation of the proposed apartments and road improvements, BAAQMD recommends the following applicable measures from the California Air Pollution Control Officers Association:13 • Provide transit-oriented development, • Implement a Commute Trip Reduction Program, • Use electric or hybrid powered equipment during Project construction, • Limit heavy-duty diesel vehicle idling during Project construction, • Create a construction plan with community input, • Institute an air quality monitoring and response plan, • Establish vegetative barriers, and • Increase urban tree canopy and green spaces. Additionally, the California Air Resources Board (“CARB”) 2022 Scoping Plan recommends that new residential projects “[use] all-electric appliances without any natural gas connections and [do] not use propane or other fossil fuels for space heating, water heating, or indoor cooking” to reduce Project- related GHG emissions.14 Several mitigation measures gathered from SCAG, BAAQMD, and CARB would reduce Project-related GHG emissions. These measures offer a cost-effective, feasible way to incorporate lower-emitting design features into the proposed Project, which subsequently reduce emissions released during Project 13 “Mitigating Air Quality And Climate Impacts” BAAQMD, April 2023, available at: https://www.baaqmd.gov/~/media/files/planning-and-research/ceqa/ceqa-guidelines-2022/ceqa-guidelines- chapter-8-mitigation_final-pdf.pdf?rev=5a4aa8d31c394498b8b4de4e9eb46edc&sc_lang=en, p. 8-5 – 7. 14 “2022 Scoping Plan For Achieving Carbon Neutrality” CARB, November 2022, available at: https://ww2.arb.ca.gov/sites/default/files/2022-11/2022-sp-appendix-d-local-actions.pdf, Appendix D, p. 23, Table 3.
