Transportation & Land Use | 43Pleasanton Climate Action Plan 2.0 P6. Electrify municipal small engine equipment and reduce emissions of off-road equipment upon replacement Emissions reduction City Cost $0 Co-benefits Community Cost $0 The City has already made significant progress to reduce emissions from off-road transportation. To further reduce those emissions, the City will identify municipal off-road equipment (e.g., mowers, chippers, tractors) that fall below current emissions standards and switch to lower-emissions alternatives upon replacement. City staff are encouraged to consider prioritizing high-emissions equipment for replacement. Further, the City will work with regional partners and local organizations (e.g., the Tri Valley Air Quality Community Alliance) to monitor advancements around battery technology in small- engine options and transition City operations to electric landscaping equipment when feasible. P7. Expand community small-engine electrification Emissions reduction 6,300 City Cost $0 Co-benefits Community Cost ($2.4M) To build on the City’s success significantly reducing off-road transportation emissions, the City will partner with local organizations to provide incentives to the community to purchase all-electric small- engine equipment (e.g., lawn mowers, leaf blowers) and will continue to investigate opportunities to incorporate all-electric small equipment in large-scale commercial projects. This action may include a gas-powered leaf blower ban, consistent with new statewide legislation (AB 1346). Strategy TLU-2. Advance active, shared, and public transportation Existing Ongoing Actions E3. Bicycle & Pedestrian Master Plan and Trails Master Plan Emissions reduction 6,400 City Cost N/A Co-benefits Community Cost N/A The City will continue to implement the Bicycle & Pedestrian Master Plan and Trails Master Plan, with an emphasis on closing bicycle, pedestrian, and trail network gaps. Under the Trails Master Plan, trail miles will nearly double from 80 to 159 miles. During implementation, the City will: • Continue to implement existing programs as part of this process (e.g., the Commendable Commute program, which collaborates with employers to provide incentives as part of transportation demand management (TDM) programs to encourage alternative modes of travel and reduce single-occupant vehicle use). • Encourage development project amenities (when amenities are required) to include contribution of funds or land to further the trails network as outlined in the Trails Master Plan and bicycle and pedestrian networks as in the Bicycle & Pedestrian Master Plan. • Support the expansion of the complete streets network as outlined in the Bicycle & Pedestrian Master Plan with a focus on designated and protected bike lanes to businesses, parks, and schools. • Prioritize City contributions to building and expanding networks and improving public access to open space and waterways. • Report progress indicators such as miles of new bike lanes in CAP 2.0 monitoring.
