Proposed Action: Move the CAC recommend to City Council and County
Commissioners that in order to affect a significant reduction in GHG emissions they
concurrently:
A. Secure the funds needed to create a transportation system wherein walking,
bicycling, and transit are the natural choice for travel.
B. Institute policy changes to discontinue the current subsidy given to motor
vehicle drivers through existing parking policies wherein:
Off-street parking requirements result in excessive, underutilized, and “free" parking thus
creating an incentive to drive as well as result in increased distances between destinations
thus discouraging the use of other transport modes. We support the institution of managed
paid parking where the monies earned are used to support other modes of transport for
access.
