Uhlelo oludumile lwase-California Lokuthuthukisa Nokuncishiswa Kwemvelo (i-EEMP) luxhaswe ngezigidi ezingu-7 zamaRandi kuSabelomali Sezwe sango-2013-14 ngomthetho osayinwe nguMbusi uJerry Brown namuhla. Lolu wukuphela koxhaso lwezimali losizo lwezwe lonke lwezamahlathi emadolobheni kulo nyaka wezimali.
Nakuba ukubuyiselwa koxhaso lwe-EEMP ngokuqinisekile kuza njengesengezo esamukelekayo kusabelomali sikahulumeni, izindaba zangempela zigxile ezinguqukweni zaphakade ze-EEMP, nokudalwa kohlelo olusha olungahlinzeka ngezibonelelo ezincintisanayo zezinsiza zokungcebeleka.
Isinyathelo esisayinwe nguMbusi uBrown (uMthethosivivinywa weSigele 99) sihlela kabusha izici ze-EEMP, kanje:
1. Ukuphathwa kwe-EEMP kusuka eMnyangweni wezokuThutha kuya ku-Ejensi yeMvelo. Lokhu kuwukunqoba okukhulu komphakathi wezokongiwa kwemvelo osekuyiminyaka engama-20 kwenziwa. Njengohlelo oluhlala njalo lwe-Ejensi, silindele izinguquko ezimbalwa - zonke okufanele zizuzise abanikezwa izibonelelo nabafake izicelo. Lokhu kubandakanya ukuzibophezela kwe-Ejensi ukuphatha izivumelwano njengezibonelelo hhayi izinkontileka. Futhi kufaka phakathi uxhaso lokuxhasa isikhundla esigcwele ngaphakathi kwe-Ejensi yalolu hlelo.
2. I-EEMP izogxila kakhulu ekuxhaseni ngezimali izindawo zezinsiza kanye namahlathi asemadolobheni. Selokhu yasungulwa, i-EEMP iphinde yaxhasa ngezimali amaphrojekthi “ezokungcebeleka ngasemgwaqweni” (okungukuthi amapaki nemizila). Lawa maphrojekthi asusiwe ku-EEMP futhi azoxhaswa kwenye indawo. Ngakho-ke, isabelo sonyaka se-EEMP sizoncishiswa sisuka ku-$10 million siye ku-$7 million (inzuzo encane yezigaba ezimbili ezisele uma kubhekwa ukuthi izibonelelo zezokungcebeleka eziseceleni komgwaqo ngokuvamile zibalelwa ku-35% wawo wonke amaphrojekthi axhasiwe eminyakeni emihlanu edlule).
3. Amapaki nezindlela zokungcebeleka zizofaneleka ukuncintisana ngebhodwe lezimali elikhulu nakakhulu elisungulwe ngaphansi kohlelo olusha lwe-Active Transportation, obeluyingxenye eyinhloko ye-SB 99. Lolu hlelo luzothuthukisa u-30% ekuxhasweni kombuso okuzinikele kumaphrojekthi ukwandisa ingxenye yohambo olufezwa ukuhamba ngebhayisikili nokuhamba ngezinyawo e-California, kukhuphule ukuphepha nokuhamba kwabasebenzisi abangenazo izimoto, futhi kuthuthukiswe imizamo yokuthutha esebenzayo yama-ejensi wesifunda ukuze kuzuzwe imigomo yokunciphisa isisi esibamba ukushisa. Amaphrojekthi afanelekela uxhaso ahlanganisa ukuthuthukiswa kwezindlela zamabhayisikili ezintsha, izindlela zokuhamba, izindawo zokungcebeleka, namapaki. Uhlelo lwe-Active Transportation luzoxhaswa ngamadola ayizigidi ezingu-124 zamadola esifunda kanye nohulumeni, futhi luqukethe kokubili uhlelo lwesifunda lokuncintisana nolokuncintisana lwezwe lonke. Amaphesenti angamashumi amabili nanhlanu ezimali kumele asetshenziselwe amaphrojekthi ahlomulisa imiphakathi entulayo.
Kokubili i-Natural Resources Agency kanye ne-California Transportation Commission bazothuthukisa imihlahlandlela yesibonelelo sikahulumeni emasontweni ezayo. I-California ReLeaf izoqhubeka nokuzibophezela ngale nqubo, futhi ikhuthaze Inethiwekhi ukuthi inikeze imibono yomphakathi kukho kokubili okusalungiswa okuzayo.
Okokugcina, futhi njengenjwayelo, ubambiswano luyisisekelo sempumelelo yethu. Futhi le ndaba yempumelelo yayingeke yenzeke ngaphandle komsebenzi omkhulu we- Imizila Ephephile Eya Ezikoleni Ubambiswano Lukazwelonke, I-TransForm, I-Rails-to-Trails Conservancy, Ukongiwa Kwemvelo, I-Trust for Public Land, I-Pacific Forest Trust, Kanye California Council of Land Trusts.
