Transportation & Land Use | 42Pleasanton Climate Action Plan 2.0 Strategy TLU-1. Advance vehicle decarbonization Primary Actions P5. ZEV Infrastructure Plan Emissions reduction 315,300 City Cost $218k Co-benefits Community Cost ($31k) The City of Pleasanton will develop and implement a ZEV Infrastructure Plan that strategically expands EV and other zero emissions fueling infrastructure throughout the community, electrifies portions of the municipal fleet, and bolsters community outreach and funding. As a part of this effort, the following should also be considered: Infrastructure Analysis • Review existing alternative fuels infrastructure to identify gaps (e.g., location and quantity of EV charging). • 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 LAVTA) and other regional efforts to transition medium and heavy-duty trucks to electric and other ZEV (e.g., hydrogen-fuel celled vehicles). Municipal Fleet • Collaborate with EBCE to establish and implement a plan that guides municipal fleet transition to all-electric in the coming decade. Community Infrastructure • Update, adopt, and implement the EV Charger and Parking Ordinance requiring alternative vehicle parking and charging infrastructure for non- residential properties. • Modify the PMC section requiring new housing units (e.g., apartments, condominiums, mixed use units, and single-family residences) include EV charging capabilities (e.g., in a SFR this may include a 220V outlet in the garage or for an apartment complex it may require several tenant charging stations). • Expand publicly available EV infrastructure as indicated in the ZEV Infrastructure Plan, which may include installing EV chargers on municipal properties (e.g., parks, library, senior center). This may also include collaborating with schools to expand EV infrastructure on school properties. • Collaborate with existing gas stations to encourage installation of EV and alternative carbon free fueling stations. • Provide preferential parking for ZEVs in public parking lots. Education, Outreach, and Funding • Conduct an education and outreach campaign in the community and in high schools about electric vehicles, consistent with P16. • Partner with regional organizations (e.g., EBCE) to promote incentives and rebates for ZEVs including EVs and electric bicycles. This may include identifying grant funds to help replace private vehicles with ZEVs, with a focus on supporting ZEV purchases for low-income demographics. • Partner with businesses and employers, especially those with large vehicle fleets, to accelerate ZEV adoption. • Provide alternative financial models for City-owned EV charging, including sliding scales and Electronic Benefits Transfer (EBT) card features.
