What are Climate-Friendly & Equitable Communities?
Climate-Friendly and Equitable Communities (CFEC) Rules were adopted by the Oregon Legislature in July 2022. As part of these new rules, local governments are required to study, identify, and designate "climate-friendly areas" to help provide local residents with more housing and transportation choices while also meeting Oregon’s Climate Pollution Reduction Targets for 2050. These rules require some cities to update their transportation and land use plans and development codes to accommodate walkable, mixed-use development.

What do Climate Friendly Areas look like?
A Climate-Friendly Area (CFA) is intended to be a place where residents, workers, and visitors can meet most of their daily needs without having to drive. These places may be urban mixed-use areas such as downtowns, main streets and neighborhood centers. They may be established areas or areas planned for future development.

This survey is expected to take 10-12 minutes to complete.
