Overview
This bill changes how regional transportation plans are created in California. Instead of requiring a separate ‘sustainable communities strategy’ every four years, it mandates that starting in 2027, these plans include an 8-year strategy. The bill also requires metropolitan planning organizations to submit implementation reports every four years to the Strategic Growth Council and establishes a process for the state board to set greenhouse gas emission reduction targets for regions, with public input and advisory committee involvement. Finally, it exempts transportation planning and sustainability strategies from the California Environmental Quality Act.
