Alternative Transportation-Trip Reduction

hydrogencarSouthern California is infamous for its transportation problems.  Most residents use single-occupancy motor vehicles for their daily commutes contributing to congested freeways and extended travel times.  In addition, congested roadways lead to decreased air quality, elevated greenhouse gas emissions, and dependence on foreign fuel supplies.  Over half the energy consumed in the United States goes toward transportation and 98 percent of the transportation sector is fueled by petroleum.

To reduce petroleum-fueled, single occupancy vehicle use within municipal operations and the community, the Department of Conservation & Environmental Services promotes the following strategies and technologies through its programs and policies:

  • busAlternative Fuel Vehicles (AFVs) – use biodiesel, ethanol, natural gas, hydrogen, or electricity
  • Employee Commute Incentives
  • Rideshare Options
  • Telecommuting
  • Alternative Work Schedule
  • Public Transportation Access
  • Bike Facilities
