FACTS
-
On-road transportation contributes to more than 50% of greenhouse gas emissions in Los Altos and Los Altos Hills
-
Our communities are leaders in adoption of EVs - the 2nd highest in California as a percent of registered vehicles
-
Yet, only 8% of registered vehicles are EVs, leaving a lot of room for improvement
-
Los Altos has 100 miles of streets. Safe streets for pedestrians and bicyclists are critical to increasing the number of people comfortably walking and biking
-
Our relatively flat geography and mild climate makes it ideal for walking and biking. The number of students biking to high school increased markedly since the beginning of GreenTown's WoW program
