Local Solution
(Type of Activity: Community Program Implementation )

Build community capacity and public support for low-carbon mobility through organizing, storytelling, and leadership development. Local governments can invest in community-based organizing, culturally grounded storytelling, and leadership programs that equip residents to champion transit, biking, and walking, counter car-centric norms, and accelerate implementation of VMT-reducing projects.

Existing Examples of Progress: 1. Santa Rosa, Sonoma County: Incremental protected bike lane development despite funding gaps, with strong public works safety messaging driving community support. 2. Santa Clara County: Employee programs including e-bike rental options as commuter benefits, promoting mode shift at the local government level.
