Transportation and Climate Justice Executive Order
Mayor's Announcement|Executive Order|2-Pager Summary
BACKGROUND
In December 2022, Mayor Bruce Harrell signed an Executive Order directing City departments to work together to prioritize and expand actions that equitably reduce or eliminate greenhouse gas emissions (GHG) within the transportation sector.
Actions are designed to invest in and build resilience among communities that are hardest hit by the climate crisis, create jobs, and improve the health of Seattle residents and workers—by reducing pollution and making streets safer.
PROGRESS UPDATES
As of January 2025, the City has completed 8 of the 23 actions introduced in the Executive Order and has made significant progress on the 15 remaining actions.
