A Bill to Incentivize Cali Residents to Go Car-Free




Senator Anthony Portantino (D – La Cañada/Flintridge) has hit on another way to provide relief to people who really need it – and that would help the state meet its climate goals. His bill, S.B. 457, would offer a tax credit to taxpayers who do not own a car. It’s a stimulus aimed at people who need it most – those who cannot afford a car – as well as in incentive for everyone to reduce dependence on cars.

Glendale streetcar on track to break ground by 2026


The Glendale Streetcar, which has been under study for a half-decade, would run along an alignment once served by the Pacific Electric Railway, and could eventually serve as a starter line for a system extending toward Burbank. The project would serve a roughly 2.6-square-mile area centered on Brand Boulevard and Central Avenue that is home to approximately 62,000 residents and 43,000 jobs.

This is an intriguing initiative! Incentivizing car-free living in California could have a significant impact on reducing traffic congestion and pollution. It's inspiring to see local governments taking steps toward sustainable living.
