Climate Roadmap Packages

Investing in all the Climate Roadmap strategies and actions is crucial to reaching the city’s goals, but we know decision makers often must make hard trade-offs in the near-term. To illustrate those trade-offs, we analyzed the Climate Roadmap in three distinct packages that help us understand the impact of investing in different types of actions across various timeframes:

Package A: Capital Intensive

• This package focuses on capital intensive infrastructure, particularly transit, active transportation and electric vehicle infrastructure.

Package B: Program Intensive

• This package focuses more on policies and programs including providing subsidies for e-bikes, increasing commuter benefit programs, and reducing parking subsidies.

Package C: Do Everything

• This package combines Packages A and B, investing in both infrastructure and programs, plus increases the scale of parking reforms.

Packages Overview

Below is an overview of which package(s) each action fits under.

We compared packages using quantitative and qualitative data. The figure below shows how the three packages reduced greenhouse gas emissions, shifted mode share and impacted each of the six community benefits being tracked, while accounting for the costs of each.
