The California Air Resources Board (CARB) was tasked with doing so and thus instituted the Cap-and-Trade program, a market-based mechanism to reduce emissions. -

Transit coverage is highest in Western metro areas such as “ As states and Honolulu and Los Angeles, and lowest in Southern metro areas such as Chattanooga and Greenville. Regardless of region, residents of cities and lower-income neighborhoods have regions strive to better access to transit than residents of suburbs and middle/higher-income neighborhoods. n In neighborhoods covered by transit, morning rush hour service occurs about once every put Americans 10 minutes for the typical metropolitan commuter. In less than one quarter of large metro areas (23), however, is this typical service frequency, or “headway,” under 10 minutes. These back to work, include very large metro areas such as New york, Los Angeles, Houston, and Washington. Transit services city residents on average almost twice as frequently as suburban residents. poli cymakers n The typical metropolitan resident can reach about 30 percent of jobs in their metropoli- tan area via transit in 90 minutes. Job access differs considerably across metro areas, from should be careful 60 percent in Honolulu to just 7 percent in Palm Bay, reflecting variable transit coverage levels and service frequencies, and variable levels of employment and population decentralization. not to sever the Among very large metro areas, the share of jobs accessible via transit ranges from 37 percent in Washington and New york to 16 percent in Miami. -
