ENVIRONMENT COMMITTEE Advisory Committee
SUBJECT: Climate Advisory Commission DATE: 7/29/2025
Annual Report and Work Plan
______________________________________________________________________________ Honorable City Councilmembers:
Your Bicycle Pedestrian Advisory Committee (BPAC) would like to submit the following comments on the "Climate Advisory Committee Fiscal Year 2024-2025 Annual Report and Fiscal Year 2025-2026 Work Plan”:
• The City of San José Bicycle Pedestrian Advisory Committee affirms its strong support for the Climate Advisory Committee recommendations. These key transportation and mobility initiatives directly align with our Climate Smart San José goals and our city’s broader commitment to environmental sustainability, equity, and resilience. • We recognize and commend the efforts made through the Better Bike Plan 2025, Move San José, and the Emerging Mobility Action Plan, each of which serves as a cornerstone in our transition toward a low-carbon, multimodal transportation system. • Together, these initiatives form a cohesive, forward-thinking framework to reduce transportation emissions—the largest source of Greenhouse gases in San José—while improving quality of life and expanding mobility options for all residents. • We encourage the City to fund these initiatives to meet our climate goals. • We support limiting the non-critical funding of single vehicle infrastructure in favor of public transit and multimodal infrastructure.
These comments were appoved unanimously at the July 29th, 2025 BPAC meeting.
Sincerely,
Jordan Moldow, Chairperson
