Environmental Sustainability

Oakland County seeks to protect the environment, reduce carbon pollution, keep our water and lakes safe, and conserve natural resources.

Community Objectives

To measure progress toward our Environmental Sustainability goal, we will:

Protect Our Drinking Water, as measured by the number of water service lines that may contain lead.

Reduce County Government Emissions and Energy Use, as measured by the CO2 emissions from energy consumption.

Promote Cleaner Transportation Alternatives, as measured by the percentage of residents commuting to work other than in a single occupancy vehicle.
