The city of Raleigh is considering banning new drive-thrus in walkable areas as part of an effort to reduce greenhouse gas emissions.

WILDFIRES, BUT STILL THEY WANTED TO HELP. >> SCHOOL STARTS IN 10 DAYS. SORRY ABOUT THAT. A RALLY IS FIGHTING CLIMATE CHANGE THROUGH NEW DEVELOPMENT. 42 1% OF GREENHOUSE GAS EMISSIONS IN THE CITY COME FROM TRANSPORTATION. HOW FAR WE HAVE TO DRIVE TO GET AROUND. THAT'S REVEALED IN THE COMMUNITY. CLIMATE ACTION PLAN OF THE GOAL IS TO CUT THOSE HARMFUL EMISSIONS. 80% BY THE YEAR 2050, WRAL'S. MATT TALHELM SHOWS US WHAT THE CITY IS DOING NOW TO GET MORE PEOPLE TO DITCH THEIR CARS >> THIS IS THE FIRST TIME THE CITY HAS PUT TOGETHER NEW RULES FOR DEVELOPMENT TO FOCUS ON CLIMATE CHANGE. AND IT STARTS IN THE DRIVE-THRU LINE. >> THE CONVENIENCE OF THE FAST FOOD DRIVE-THRU MAKES MY LIFE EASIER IS SLOWLY POLLUTING OUR ENVIRONMENT FROM THE TAIL PIPE INTO THE AIR. WE BREATHE. >> IT'S FOLKS NEEDING TO USE THEIR CARS, CONTRIBUTING TO GREENHOUSE GAS. NOW, RALEIGH IS LOOKING TO BAN THE BUILDING A NEW DRIVE THROUGHS IN MORE AREAS. THE CITY ALREADY RESTRICTS THEM A LONG FUTURE BUS RAPID TRANSIT CORRIDORS STARTING WITH WESTERN BOULEVARD IN WILMINGTON STREET. THE NEW RULE WOULD LIMIT DRIVE-THRUS IN DOWNTOWN THE VILLAGE DISTRICT, HILLSBOROUGH STREET AND BLUE RIDGE ROAD. YOU'RE STILL GOING TO DRIVE OVER HERE, PARKED CAR, THEN START BACK UP. I DON'T NOW. >> MUCH MORE COMMON CHANGED EXPECTED ON THAT. HERE'S HOW THE U.S. DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY SAYS IN ALL OF US AND ELIMINATED A NECESSARY IDLING IN OUR CARS. IT WOULD BE LIKE TAKING 5 MILLION CARS OFF THE ROADS WERE TRYING TO CULTIVATE AN ENVIRONMENT WHERE FOLKS FEEL SAFE BEING OUT OF THEIR CARS WERE FOLKS CAN BUILD REALLY STRONG NEIGHBORHOODS WHERE YOU CAN WALK TO A COFFEE SHOP. YOU CAN WALK. >> TO A PLACE TO GET FOOD. THE DRIVE-THRU BAN IS PART OF A NEW CLEAN TRANSPORTATION ORDINANCE PRESENTED TO CITY COUNCIL THIS WEEK. >> AND SINCE MOST OF OUR GREENHOUSE GAS EMISSIONS COME FROM THE COMMUNITY, IT'S REALLY VITAL THAT WE LOOK ALONG. WE LOOK TO THESE TYPES OF STRATEGIES TO LEAD IN THE COMMUNITIES. IT ALSO INCLUDES REQUIREMENTS FOR NEW APARTMENT BUILDINGS TO INCLUDE PARKING SPACES WHERE RESIDENTS CAN CHARGE THEIR ELECTRIC VEHICLES AND DEVELOPERS WOULD HAVE TO CREATE PEDESTRIAN CONNECTIONS. >> TO AND FROM NEW PROJECTS TO MAKE THEM MORE WALKABLE. >> NEARLY EVERYTHING IS BOTH IN THE CITY IS THEIR PRIVATE DEVELOPMENT. SO WE HAVE TO UPDATE OUR RULES TO HELP GUIDE THE PRIVATE DEVELOPMENT IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION AS WELL. >> THE CITY SUSTAINABILITY OFFICE PLANS TO PUT TOGETHER THIS PACKAGE OF NEW REGULATIONS BY THE FALL. THEN IT WILL BE UP TO CITY COUNCIL TO APPROVE THAT. MATT TALHELM, WRAL NEWS, RALEIGH. >> APEX CARRBORO AND WILMINGTON ALREADY HAVE REQUIREMENTS FOR EV CHARGING PARKING SPACES FOR SEVERAL YEARS. NOW CARRBORO IN
