Greenest Cities in California

The EPA reports that the United States' transportation sector accounts for 27% of national greenhouse gas emissions. In a country of over 263 million registered vehicles, many communities are taking action to reduce their environmental impact and vehicular carbon footprint. This city has been named the "greenest" in the state by Insurify.

The Green California program, through the state government, aims to lessen California's carbon footprint and promote sustainable government-funded solutions to climate change. The state is on pace to reduce petroleum consumption by over 20 percent by 2020, thanks to statewide legislation. Over 600 state fleet vehicles are zero-emission vehicles, or ZEVs. The decades-old, Sacramento-based Planning and Conservation League continues to push for alternative and public transportation expansion statewide.
