Do we have measurable results of what decreased car driving can do for the environment? Seems like our current situation is a great example if we can measure the effect.

Matt and Rachel - for us newbies, could you explain what major state legislative or state regulatory items would have to be enacted to address the 2050 timeline?

What would a comparable wedge analysis have looked like in 2007? Clearly we are not making our 2020 goal. What went wrong? What did we think would happen that did not?

Following up on Mayor Robinson - more broadly is there a document we could look at that shows the numbers and assumptions behind the wedge analysis.

why no mention of HYPERLOOP as it is an obvious answer to jet noise and pollution?

I do think we need to ensure we are getting some measurements during this time, as Mayor Robinson states, we could have some proof of our assumptions that could help us in the future

How often do you track each city's progress towards achieving these goals? Do you publish a regular "scorecard" of any type?

Use your space bar like a walkie-talkie button to toggle your mute button off. Hold down the space bar to talk. Release when done.

Question for Nicole later or after the presentation: What kind of outreach does K4C engage in to encourage more KC cities to join? Especially other South and East KC cities. Thanks!

Seems like we should lean in to imagining a “new normal”, with telework/use of tech/etc and how that change our transportation modeling.

Staff are being polite. Hyperloop is an intriguing theory at this point, but by no means a panacea. During the last recession, the similar discussion was about mag lev - mag lev was going to make transportation much cheaper and easier to deliver.

Thank you, Matt!

What can we do to encourage smaller towns to incentivize and promote green energy and green tech companies to come to our zoned industrial and commercial spaces?

What is the status of the next phase of Green Direct?

Green Direct should be online mid 2020. I do not know about phases beyond 1 and 2.

CM De Leon, we are proposing a Green Jobs position at the County that could help support development of jobs like that throughout the County.

Exec Constantine is very interested in green economy growth.

Rachel, that is wonderful! My city of Black Diamond needs to diversify its revenue and I can't think of a better and literally more sustainable way to do so. Whatever I can do to help promote that for the entire county.

What about embodied carbon strategies?

Is there a draft of the Climate Action toolkit now?

Is it possible to measure current GHG emissions in our environment to show the impact of all the restrictions with COVID?

Which cities have not joined and why not?

Hi Craig, At this point it's mostly smaller cities that have not yet been able to join. The Elected Outreach Committee that Rachel will talk about shortly is helping a lot with recruitment. A major stated barrier for these smaller cities is staff capacity to participate.

Rachel and Matt - Sorry if I'm behind - has the PPT been shared with folks or if not, could it be? It's very helpful.

Yes, the ppt was shared in the advance materials and I can reshare it with you.

yes - it would be great if you could please share with everyone on the webinar

If interested in the elected officials outreach group, my contact information is jarnold@kirklandwa.gov, (425) 587-3535

Could you put those registration links in the chat?

Yes. Hold on a moment
