 City Now Accepting Public Comments on Draft Climate Action Plan
The City is pleased to announce that Fremont's updated draft Climate Action Plan is now available on MyFremont for the community to review and provide feedback! On June 20, the Fremont City Council unanimously approved to release the draft for a period of public review and comment.
The plan, titled Climate Ready Fremont, provides a series of local greenhouse gas (GHG) emission reduction and climate adaptation measures to be undertaken through the year 2030. To learn more about the plan and the update process, please visit the City’s Climate Action Plan webpage.
To provide feedback on the draft, community members can take the following actions on MyFremont, the City's community engagement platform.

- Ask a question.
Feedback will be accepted on MyFremont for approximately one month. The feedback received will be reviewed and considered as staff prepares the final Climate Action Plan to bring to the City Council for adoption later this year.
The City welcomes all feedback, and thanks everyone for participating and helping to create a climate ready Fremont!

Did you know that a mobile hygiene unit is available in Fremont, Newark, and Union City to help our unhoused residents? The CleanStart unit provides shower and laundry services at five different sites throughout the week. For more information, please view the City’s Community Drop-in Services Schedule and look for the “Showers and Laundry” service.
When a person visits CleanStart to access services, they are offered new clothes to put on after their shower or while their current clothes are being washed. CleanStart keeps a supply of clothes and other items on hand. These items are typically donated by the community, which is greatly appreciated by those managing the program and those using them.
With the weather starting to warm up, a new Summer Needs List is now available for those who would like to donate items. The items most needed are the following: t-shirts, sweatpants, leggings, and backpacks.

 All Fireworks are Banned in the City of Fremont
Fremont’s public safety departments would like to remind Fremont residents, businesses, and visitors that the sale, possession, and use of all fireworks are banned within the city of Fremont. This ban includes the “safe and sane” variety of fireworks that are legal in some other cities.
