Rethink Your Ride Cut Carbon with Smarter Transportation

Issaquah's Climate Action Plan focuses on reducing transportation-related carbon emissions, which account for over one-third of the city's total emissions. Launched in 2021, the plan aims to promote sustainable travel options ahead of its 2026 update. Rethinking transportation can lead to cleaner air, healthier residents, and less traffic congestion, as noted in the 2025 Community Survey. Financially, choosing alternatives like walking or biking not only saves money for households but also reduces city maintenance costs. The city invests in infrastructure improvements, including EV charging stations and bike lanes, to support sustainable travel.

Residents can easily adopt low-impact travel methods, from school buses to discounted transit passes for youth and seniors. The city's efforts align with a broader goal of creating a cleaner, healthier Issaquah for generations. Every trip matters, and residents are encouraged to make conscious travel choices.
