Key Action: Use land use strategies to reduce VMT

Use land use strategies to reduce Vehicle Miles Traveled (VMT)

Prioritize thoughtful integration of trees along pathways/bikeways for enhanced active transportation experience and increased carbon sequestration.
Identify new transit-supportive land use corridors for new housing and local-serving retail.
Identify policies/programs to reduce GHG emissions from parts of the city with high VMT.
Accommodate new housing and employment growth in areas walkable to retail and Caltrain or corridors that meet requirements for VTA-provided transit via zoning standards, consistent with state law.
