SUMMARY:

April 21, 2022, California Emerging Technology Fund 

Pursuing long-term solutions to address climate change, the Southern California Association of Governments (SCAG), California Emerging Technology Fund (CETF) in partnership with the Los Angeles Digital Equity Action League (LA DEAL) today announced recommendations to reduce vehicle-generated greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions by accelerating broadband infrastructure construction and home broadband adoption to decrease vehicle trips. According to the research supported by a Sustainable Communities Grant from the California Department of Transportation (Caltrans), depending on the scope and speed of action, the region can potentially reduce the region’s GHG emissions by up to 15 percent.
