SPUR Support for AB 2438

Advocacy Letter

Even with visionary transportation policies and plans to address the climate crisis, we are finding that our state programs have been slow to adapt. SPUR supports Assembly Bill 2438 (Friedman), because it requires the state to incorporate its climate goals into the transportation programs. AB 2438 will help to develop a transparent and accountable process for how projects are evaluated on safety, accessibility, reliability, and the state’s climate goals.

 

AB 2438 must pass this year to ensure that funding for our transportation systems emphasizes climate, health, equity, and good jobs, especially as our state receives a major influx of federal transportation funding.
