Seattle Mayor Jenny Durkan made headlines this week for suggesting tolling downtown streets. In a report outlining near-term actions to reduce carbon emissions, Durkan announced Seattle will develop a strategy to put a price on the use of city streets through “congestion pricing.”
But tolling downtown isn’t the only transportation change Durkan is suggesting. The report also recommends requiring all new and renovated parking structures to include electric-vehicle charging stations. Durkan also wants to work with stakeholders to electrify all for-hire vehicles including taxis and vehicles operated by ride-sharing companies like Uber and Lyft. Below is a table outlining the city’s agenda and its potential to reduce emissions.
more if you can stomach reading it.
