Emissions Reduction5.4Describe the anticipated outcomes of the most impactful mitigation actions your city is currently undertaking; the total cost of the action and how much is being funded by the local government.12Action description and implementation progress5Boulder is working to become a zero waste community, where we reduce the waste we create and then reuse, recycle and compost most of what we throw away. Our goal is to generate new materials from 85 percent of our waste by 2025 rather than send that waste to the landfill. As of 2020, we generate new materials from 53 percent of our waste.The Universal Zero Waste Ordinance is just one of many zero waste efforts contributing to Boulder’s zero waste future.The Zero Waste effort is funded by the City of Boulder Trash Tax.

Emissions Reduction5.4Describe the anticipated outcomes of the most impactful mitigation actions your city is currently undertaking; the total cost of the action and how much is being funded by the local government.12Action description and implementation progress6The mission of the Open Space and Mountain Parks Department (OSMP) is to preserve and protect the natural environment and land resources that characterize Boulder. Over 45,000 acres of land has been preserved and protected. Wildlife habitat, unique geologic features, greenways and 155 miles of trails are all part of Open Space and Mountain Parks. Boulder's Open Space and Mountain Parks form a buffer around the city, helping to establish its own, separate identity from neighboring communities. Open space is acquired through sales tax revenues, bond issues, private donations and development dedications. Acquisitions are approved by the Open Space Board of Trustees and City Council with opportunity for public input.

Emissions Reduction5.4Describe the anticipated outcomes of the most impactful mitigation actions your city is currently undertaking; the total cost of the action and how much is being funded by the local government.12Action description and implementation progress7The Transportation Master Plan, or TMP, is the guiding policy document for the City of Boulder's transportation system. Each update to the TMP builds on previous versions of the plan. About every five years, city staff reach out to the community to learn whether the current goals and policy direction still reflect the community's values. The Transportation Master Plan is organized around five focus areas: Complete Streets, Regional Travel, Transportation Demand Management, Funding, and Sustainability. Complete Streets accommodate all modes of transportation by planning, designing, and building complete facilities for pedestrians, bicyclists, transit riders and vehicle drivers. The TMP is currently being updated with a major focus on recognizing the need for a 50% reduction in GHG by 2030.Since 1989, GO Boulder has been working to create an innovative and balanced transportation system to sustain the quality of life valued by Boulder residents, employees and visitors. GO Boulder creates and promotes "Great Options" for transportation to increase the travel choices available to our community. GO Boulder offers a variety of resources to help safely complete trips on bike, foot or bus. Includes carpools, vanpools and car sharing.

Emissions Reduction5.4Describe the anticipated outcomes of the most impactful mitigation actions your city is currently undertaking; the total cost of the action and how much is being funded by the local government.12Action description and implementation progress8Boulder's Climate Action Plan (CAP) Tax was the nation’s first voter-approved tax dedicated to addressing climate change. The tax is levied on city residents and businesses based on the amount of electricity they consume and generates approximately $1.8 million a year. Adopted in 2006, approximately 250,000 to 750,000 cumulative metrics tons (MT) of greenhouse gas emissions have been avoided. The CAP tax funds programs and services to reduce GHG emissions by encouraging residents and businesses to reduce energy consumption, save money on energy costs over time, and minimize reliance on external energy sources. Programs and services are periodically evaluated and adapted to be most effective and meet the needs of the community. Boulder’s zero waste efforts are funded by a 1994 voter-approved ballot initiative that charges a tax on residential and commercial waste and generates approximately $1.8 million per year. The trash tax is an occupation tax on trash haulers serving customers within the city limits and helps fund waste reduction efforts in Boulder. Over the years, the trash tax has funded a variety of waste reduction activities including: Curbside compost collection; The switch to single-stream recycling; A portion of the new Hazardous Materials Management Facility (HMMF); and The purchase of land and buildings at 6400 Arapahoe Avenue to house Eco-Cycle offices, the Center for Hard-to-Recycle Materials (CHaRM), and the Center for ReSource Conservation (CRC) used building materials donation and sales yard.

The collective electric output of the systems is more than 1.4 million kilowatt-hours per year. A combination of decreased electric costs and renewable energy credits will save the city $162,655 per year and reduce annual carbon emissions by more than 1,233 tons.
