City of Arvin
The City of Arvin serves some of the poorest and most heavily polluted areas of Kern County. The 2013 Climate Action Plan outlines some goals for energy efficiency, renewable energy, and transportation to reach its emission reduction goals. These include supplying 100% of Arvin local government energy demand via renewable sources, increasing the energy efficiency of municipal buildings and facilities, replacing existing street lighting with high-efficiency LEDs, increasing the fuel efficiency of the city’s vehicle and transit fleet, and increasing the percentage of employees commuting to work by means other than driving alone.
