Transportation & Land Use | 41Pleasanton Climate Action Plan 2.0 Strategy TLU-1. Advance vehicle decarbonization 124,500 MTCO2e reduced The City of Pleasanton will expand existing zero-emissions vehicle (ZEV) fueling infrastructure throughout the community and transition the 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. Supporting Actions Cumulative Emissions Reduced through 2030 (MTCO2e) P5. ZEV Infrastructure Plan 118,200 P6. Electrify municipal small engine equipment and reduce emissions of off-road equipment upon replacement P7. Expand community small-engine electrification 6,300 Strategy TLU-2. Advance active, shared, and public transportation 34,200 MTCO2e reduced Through continued work to support the Valley Link project and implement the City’s Trail Master Plan, Bicycle & Pedestrian Master Plan, and Complete Streets program, the City is actively integrating accessible infrastructure that accommodates multiple modes of transportation. 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.

VMT reduction for K-12 activities 12,700 Strategy TLU-3. Advance sustainable land use 35,400 MTCO2e reduced Since Pleasanton’s population and job base is expected to increase, General Plan Housing Element implementation and LEED ND will be essential to support not only responsible community development, but reduce VMT and provide access to active and/or shared transportation. 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.
