Specifications include, but are not limited to: The Imperial County Region (“County”) is faced with the challenges of balancing environmental resources with the need for economic vitality. The region consists of seven incorporated cities and the unincorporated county. The County is a large geographic region containing approximately 4,598 square miles. The projected growth of the region directly affects the future of the region’s water supply, agricultural productivity, air quality, transportation options, and job opportunities. These concerns may become more pronounced as climate change impacts the region. Climate change transcends political boundaries and reducing greenhouse gases (GHGs) requires a cross-jurisdictional approach to ensure community-wide reductions. Actions by local governments can help to reduce GHG through many different strategies including reduced regional vehicle miles traveled (VMT) due to efficient transportation strategies. The Imperial County Transportation Commission (ICTC) in collaboration with the Southern California Association of Governments (SCAG) is uniquely positioned to provide a regional approach and collaboration that translates into local actions for the reduction of GHG emissions within Imperial County. The goal of this project is to develop a regional framework for addressing GHG emissions through a Regional Climate Action Plan (CAP) that allows each local agency to customize the plan to fit into the context of the community each jurisdiction serves. This regional framework can then be used at the local level to develop jurisdiction specific Climate Action Plans.
