Attachment 3 Strategy 1: Advance vehicle decarbonization. 1056 Create a ZEV Develop and implement a Zero Emissions Vehicle (ZEV) Infrastructure Plan that strategically expands EV and other zero emissions fueling Infrastructure infrastructure throughout the community. The plan should include: Plan Grid Analysis • Review existing alternative fuels infrastructure to identify gaps (e.g., location and quantity of EV charging). Community Infrastructure • Expand publicly available EV infrastructure which may include installing EV chargers on municipal properties (e.g., parks, library, senior center, etc.). • Collaborate with existing gas stations to encourage installation of EV and alternative carbon free fueling stations. • Provide preferential parking for electric vehicles only in public parking lots. • Modify the Municipal Code Section requiring new apartment and condo complexes include EV charging. Municipal Fleet • Collaborate with East Bay Community Energy to establish and implement a plan that guides fleet transition to all -electric in the coming decade. Education, Outreach, and Funding • Conduct an education and outreach campaign in the community and in high schools about electric vehicles. • Partner with regional organizations (e.g., EBCE) to promote incentives and rebates. • Identify grant funds to help replace private vehicles with zero emission vehicles, with a focus on supporting EV purchases for low- income demographics. • Provide alternative financial models for city -owned EV charging, including sliding scales and EBT card features. • Identify funding opportunities for electric bicycles. Regional Electrification • Work with regional partners to create a job training program to expand trade knowledge around electric and zero emissions fueling alternative vehicles. • Support regional organizations (e.g., EBCE) and other regional efforts to transition medium and heavy-duty trucks to electric. 1190 Municipal small- Evaluate the current fleet of Municipal off-road equipment (e.g., mowers, chippers, tractors, etc.) and identify equipment that falls below engine current emissions standards. Replace and update off-road equipment with lower emissions alternatives upon replacement. Across City electrification operations, priority replacement for high emission equipment should be considered. Further, work with the Tri Valley Air Quality Community and off-road Alliance to monitor advancements around battery technology in small -engine options and transition City operations to electric landscaping equipment equipment when feasible.
