Climate Action Program: Moving Forward
Strategy and Leadership for Green and Energy Efficient Transportation
The Climate Action Program at the California Department of Transportation (Department) is an interdisciplinary effort intended to promote and facilitate greenhouse gas (GHG) emission reduction measures and greening within the Department. The overall objective is to encourage innovative ways to balance progressive program delivery and responsible environmental stewardship in a way that: 1) transportation strategies, plans, and projects as a whole contribute to the State’s GHG emission reduction targets, and 2) proper guidelines, procedures, and a quantifiable set of reporting protocols are in place to monitor GHG footprints and provide feedback for program development and implementation. The Climate Action Program serves as a resource for technical assistance, training, information exchange, and partnership-building opportunities.
California Climate Action Program
AB 32: Global Warming Solution Act of 2006 creates a comprehensive, multi-year program to reduce GHG emissions in California. The Department works closely with the California Air Resources Board and the Administration’s Climate Action Team (CAT) to support development and implementation of the California’s Climate Action Program. The Department also collaborates with the local and regional agencies, academic and research institutions, NGO’s, and other environmental and energy agencies to advance the State’s climate objectives.
