Guidelines to key infrastructures at risk are going to be inserted in the Municipal Public Works Guidelines, with particupar reference to SUDS design and implementation and rainwater collection systems in the construction of new roads, squares or parking lots and the maintenance and restoration of existing ones.Moreover, the Public and Private Green Regulation of the Municipality contains a specific annex named "Plant species with high environmental efficiency". The attachment reports the main features of each species in terms of "environmental effectiveness", according to a series of specific parameters.Since the water emergency and non-conventional meteorological events are key vulnerabilities of the territory, within the Annex some particular species of plants have been identified, with reference to their ability to adapt to some limiting factors, such as: the reduction of water resources and their deterioration quality; the permeability, compaction and depletion of soils; drainage problems; salinization of aquifers; pollution from dust, metals, etc.389.2612017{"type"=>"Point", "coordinates"=>[11.3387, 44.4938]}2019-10-16T18:32:22.947

The City has a long-held tradition of using compressed natural gas (CNG) technology to run its City vehicles. The City’s fleet of transit buses was ranked the second best green fleet in North America for 2008 and 2009 and it was the second mass transit fleet in California and the first within the South Coast Air Quality Management District (SCQMD) to operate 100% on CNG fuel. In 2015, the City was recognized at the Government Fleet Expo as an “Elite Fleet,” an award presented to former No.1 fleets that continue to perform at a high level. As of June 1, 2018, Renewable Natural Gas (RNG) is provided to the Culver City Compressed Natural Gas (CNG) station for the City's use. By fueling with RNG, Culver City will realize over 34,500 metric tons of CO2 reductions over the first five years of the project, and a 275% increase in reductions versus what is achieved with fossil CNG.393952016{"type"=>"Point", "coordinates"=>[-118.4, 34.02]}2019-10-16T18:32:22.947
