City of Tualatin to Launch a Community Program for Climate Action

TUALATIN, OR — The City of Tualatin is excited to announce a new program, "Pennies for Climate Action.” In this program, community members will have the option to pay $0.99 via their utility bill every month to help fund the implementation of our Community Climate Action Plan. The Tualatin Community Climate Action Plan is a roadmap of actions we can take as a community to achieve our citywide goal of net zero emissions by 2050. This new program will serve as one of several dedicated funding sources for achieving this goal and implementing the plan.

Adopted in May 2024, the Community Climate Action Plan provides a comprehensive framework to reduce climate pollution and prepare the Tualatin community for the local impacts of climate change that we have already begun to experience, like extreme heat and more intense winter storms. “This plan provides a road map for how the community can address the current and future impacts of climate change in Tualatin,” said Tualatin Mayor Frank Bubenik. “The actions included in the plan will help ensure that our community is a healthy, resilient, and thriving place to live now and for generations to come.”

Pennies for Climate Action will launch with the January 2026 utility bill. If you do not wish to participate in this program, you can opt out here.
