Routt County CAP update: decarbonization roadmap, grants, and VMT focus
Summary
The Routt County Climate Action Plan collaborative reported a decarbonization roadmap, a completed energy-efficiency block grant deliverable set, and plans to pursue a vehicle-miles-traveled reduction plan and pilot programs including an 'energy apprentice' for outreach.
Representatives from the Routt County Climate Action Plan collaborative presented an update on emissions, grant-funded deliverables, and implementation steps. The collaborative reported a revised greenhouse gas inventory, a building electrification and decarbonization toolkit developed with grant funding, and implementation pilots such as a heat-pump outreach event with 190 registrants and an upcoming YampaGo carpooling rollout.
Paul Booney of the Western Resilience Center outlined grant outcomes: a building electrification plan, a public outreach 'story map' and an Excel-based dashboard for tracking progress. The collaborative said the plan's scenario modeling shows CAP goals can be met with building electrification, efficiency and grid decarbonization, and identified VMT reduction (via RTA, ski train, carpooling tools and clean-diesel pilots) as a key outstanding challenge to address.
