The Legislature further finds and declares all of the following:
(a) California has established a statewide greenhouse gas emissions limit to be achieved by 2020 pursuant to the California Global Warming Solutions Act of 2006 (Division 25.5 (commencing with Section 38500) of the Health and Safety Code), which is equivalent to 1990 greenhouse gas emissions in the state. Senate Bill 32 (Chapter 249 of the Statutes of 2016) extended the statewide greenhouse gas emissions limit to 40 percent below 1990 levels by 2030.
(b) Emissions from the transportation sector account for a significant portion of California’s greenhouse gas emissions.
(c) In June 2016, the state released its transportation plan called California Transportation Plan 2040, which represented an important step toward integrating statewide long-range modal plans, key programs, and analysis tools that build on regional transportation plans, sustainable communities strategies, and rural land use visions. Yet more must be done to meet objectives of mobility and congestion management consistent with the state’s greenhouse gas emission limit and air pollution standards.
(d) The Legislature intends that subsequent transportation plans improve transparency, interagency coordination, and the impact of California’s transportation investments and planning to meet the objectives set forth in this section.
(Amended by Stats. 2019, Ch. 605, Sec. 1. (AB 285) Effective January 1, 2020.)
