BACKGROUND:
In 2018, the County worked with the Contra Costa Transportation Authority (CCTA) to receive a grant from the California Energy Commission (CEC) to develop an Electric Vehicle Readiness Blueprint. The Blueprint was completed in July 2019 and adopted by the CCTA Board. The Blueprint provides CCTA, County departments, and jurisdictions within the County data, best practices, and strategies to bring about a broad transition to electric vehicles across the County. It also includes reports on workforce development opportunities for mechanics and electricians to service, install, and maintain electric vehicles and associated infrastructure.
