Transit is essential for the climate, our health, and our pocketbooks , but was never set up for success in transportation policy. While transit agencies in the United States have made slight increases in the amount of buses and trains they run, this has been insufficient to meet the growing demand for more transportation options. Even status quo levels of transit are far from the future of abundant transportation options needed to truly address global warming emissions, high car ownership costs

Picture a home with solar panels on the roof and a battery mounted on an exterior wall, storing energy from the solar panels during the day for use at night. This ‘solar+storage’ system is an increasingly common sight across the country , with up to 25% of new solar installations including attached storage. It might be easy to think of this set-up as operating in isolation: only impacting the household and its occupants.

For California to meet its climate goals and bring down prices on basic needs like housing, transportation and energy, it will need to dramatically increase infill housing, transit and clean energy facilities, among other projects. Part of achieving that goal involves reforming how environmental review under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) can counter-productively slow permitting for this needed deployment.
