Izi ndi ndalama zokhazo zomwe boma limapereka zothandizira zankhalango zakumidzi m'chaka chino.
Ngakhale kubwezeretsedwa kwa ndalama za EEMP kumabwera ngati njira yolandirira ku bajeti ya boma, nkhani zenizeni zikuyang'ana pa kusintha kosatha kwa EEMP, ndi kukhazikitsidwa kwa pulogalamu yatsopano yomwe ingapereke ndalama zogwirira ntchito zothandizira zosangalatsa.
Mulingo wosainidwa ndi Bwanamkubwa Brown (Seneti Bill 99) ukonzanso zinthu za EEMP, motere:
1. Utsogoleli wa EEMP umachokera ku dipatimenti ya zamayendedwe kupita ku bungwe la Natural Resources Agency. Ichi ndi chigonjetso chachikulu kwa gulu loteteza zachilengedwe lomwe linali zaka 20 likupangidwa. Monga pulogalamu yanthawi zonse ya bungweli, tikuyembekezera zosintha zingapo - zonse zomwe ziyenera kupindulira opereka chithandizo ndi olembetsa. Izi zikuphatikiza kudzipereka kochokera ku bungwe loyang'anira mapangano ngati ma grants osati ma contract. Komanso kumaphatikizapo ndalama zothandizira ntchito yanthawi zonse mkati mwa Agency pa pulogalamuyi.
2. EEMP idzayang'ana kwambiri pakupereka ndalama za minda ndi nkhalango zakumidzi. Chiyambireni kukhazikitsidwa kwake, EEMP yathandiziranso ntchito za “zosangalatsa za m’mbali mwa msewu” (mwachitsanzo mapaki ndi misewu). Mapulojekitiwa amachotsedwa ku EEMP ndipo adzathandizidwa ndi ndalama kwina. Zotsatira zake, ndalama zapachaka zoperekedwa ku EEMP zidzachepetsedwa kuchoka pa $10 miliyoni kufika pa $7 miliyoni (kupindula pang'ono kwa magulu awiri otsalawo poganizira kuti ndalama zothandizira zosangalatsa za m'mphepete mwa msewu zimakhala ndi 35% ya mapulojekiti onse omwe amathandizidwa m'zaka zisanu zapitazi).
3. Mapaki ndi malo osangalalira adzakhala oyenerera kupikisana ndi mphika wokulirapo wandalama wokhazikitsidwa pansi pa Pulogalamu yatsopano ya Active Transportation, yomwe inali gawo lalikulu la SB 99. onjezerani kuchuluka kwa maulendo omwe amakwaniritsidwa poyendetsa njinga ndi kuyenda ku California, kuwonjezera chitetezo ndi kuyenda kwa ogwiritsa ntchito opanda magalimoto, ndikupititsa patsogolo kuyesetsa kwamayendedwe a mabungwe am'madera kuti akwaniritse zolinga zochepetsera mpweya wowonjezera kutentha. Ma projekiti omwe ali oyenera kulandira ndalama akuphatikiza kupanga misewu yatsopano yanjinga, mayendedwe, mayendedwe osangalatsa, ndi mapaki. Pulogalamu ya Active Transportation ilandila ndalama zokwana $30 miliyoni m'madola a boma ndi aboma, ndipo ili ndi pulogalamu yampikisano yachigawo komanso yopikisana mdziko lonse. Maperesenti makumi awiri ndi asanu a ndalamazo ayenera kugwiritsidwa ntchito pa ntchito zomwe zimapindulitsa anthu ovutika.
Mabungwe onse a Natural Resources Agency ndi California Transportation Commission apanga malangizo othandizira m'masabata akubwera. California ReLeaf ipitilizabe kuchitapo kanthu kudzera munjira iyi, ndikulimbikitsa Network kuti ipereke ndemanga pagulu pazolemba zonse zomwe zikubwera.
Pomaliza, komanso monga mwanthawi zonse, mgwirizano ndiye maziko a chipambano chathu. Ndipo nkhani yopambana iyi sizikadachitika popanda ntchito yayikulu ya Njira Zotetezeka Zopita ku Schools National Partnership, Kusintha, Sitima ya Rails-to-Trails Conservancy, Kusamalira Zachilengedwe, Trust for Public Land, Malingaliro a kampani Pacific Forest TrustNdipo California Council of Land Trusts.
