| 17. | Motion / Motion Response | APPROVE Motion by Yaroslavsky, Richardson, and Horvath that the Board direct Metro to join the cities of Los Angeles and Long Beach and the County in a collaborative effort led by USGBC California to reduce construction-related greenhouse gas emissions by undertaking a phased approach to the use of low carbon concrete in construction materials.
We further move that the Chief Executive Officer initiate a small-scale pilot with low-risk projects, such as the six climate resilience hubs under development, that can systemically support staff and deepen expertise and familiarity with the available options in the market for materials with cost-parity with traditional materials. Pairing this pilot with Metro’s existing climate resilience portfolio strengthens the opportunity to use low carbon construction materials in customer-facing projects in time for the 2028 Games.
We further move that the CEO report back on any relevant material specification and/or purchasing policy updates to support a shift to the use of low carbon concrete at cost parity in alignment with other efforts ar | | |
