So, what's the City of Manteca doing to lower its carbon footprint?

• The City has switched most of its employees to a 4-10 schedule, where most of the City offices are closed on Fridays, saving resources.
• The City’s fleet of cars is steadily transitioning to hybrid vehicles that are more fuel efficient than standard gas-powered vehicles. There is an adopted goal of 60% of the new City fleet vehicle purchases being zero emission vehicles (ZEVs) by the year 2030, and 100% of new City fleet vehicle purchases being ZEVs by 2040.
• The City’s Transit system uses buses that are either electric, or run on compressed natural gas (CNG). Manteca gets its CNG from an award-winning City-owned plant where garbage (organic waste) collected in town is turned into fuel! The City’s fleet of garbage collection trucks are also using this fuel.
• The City is trying to foster more pedestrian and bicycle use throughout Manteca, with its Active Transportation Plan as the overarching guide for developing a great network of walkable and bikeable routes throughout the city.
• The City has a citywide Organic Waste Recycling program (AB 1826) for commercial and residential garbage collection accounts.
• The City has a commercial solid waste recycling program (AB 341) to divert solid waste from landfills.
