Welcome to the website of Mayor Tom Bates at the City of Berkeley, CA.
Berkeley - we’re an innovative city with economic vitality, healthy and safe neighborhoods, a clean and green environment, and we are the number one teen-healthy city in the state. We are nationally recognized as an environmental, solar, and green city with the number one public university in the country. To green our economy and reduce greenhouse gas emissions in and around our community, I co-founded the East Bay Green Corridor Partnership with the mayors of Oakland, Emeryville and Richmond, the Chancellor of the University of California, Berkeley, and the Director of the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory. We work closely with community partners, public agencies, the business community, neighboring cities and through my representation on planning bodies such as Metropolitan Transportation Commission (MTC), Bay Conservation Development Commission (BCDC), and the Bay Area Air Quality Management District (BAAQMD) to meet our goals.
What's New: Berkeley’s Green Scorecard Website -
The City of Berkeley launched an interactive web-based tool today that presents scorecards on local sustainability trends such as community energy use, waste disposal, and tree planting in Berkeley. The website enables residents to, with a few clicks of a mouse, access relevant, up-to-date information about Berkeley’s progress toward its climate action goals. In addition, the site provides a forum for questions and feedback regarding implementation of the City’s Climate Action Plan.
The website is called the “Berkeley See-It.” See-It is a performance management and communications software developed by Visible Strategies with support from the San Francisco Foundation and the Bay Area Air Quality Management District.
