Community Conversation on Transportation, Smart Growth and Climate

You are invited to a Community Conversation on Transportation, Smart Growth and Climate

Please join your neighbors, community groups, and city representatives for a conversation on Thursday, June 29 to help determine Portsmouth’s Climate Future. 

Portsmouth Smart Growth, Portsmouth Climate Action, and the Transportation and Climate Action Group are cosponsoring this conversation to discuss how transportation choices are major sources both of greenhouse gas emissions (20-30%) and potential reduction strategies. We will address the question: are there smart transportation and land use choices that reduce emissions, for example, by providing attractive and affordable new forms of mobility, make walking and biking safer, encourage electric vehicles, or improve accessibility choices for new development? 

This is the first in a series of small and informal Community Conversations organized by Portsmouth grass roots organizations as part of community engagement for the Climate Action Plan (CAP). The conversations will address the urgency of the Climate Crisis through support for developing and implementing the CAP as individuals, neighborhoods, businesses, the city, and Seacoast region.
