The more parking lots a city builds, the more likely it will focus its urban design on cars. If it builds more bicycle lanes, it will become more transit-oriented. California bill AB 3153 by Assemblymember Robert Rivas of Hollister would allow for housing developers to forgo parking lot construction in favor of bike parking. This would make cities be designed to accommodate bikes instead of cars, reducing urban sprawl and therefore climate emissions. This is How California’s AB 3153 Would Reduce Carbon Emissions.
