RECOMMENDATION(S):
AUTHORIZE the Chair of the Board of Supervisors to submit the letter of support for the Contra Costa Transportation Authority grant application for electric vehicle implementation activities.
FISCAL IMPACT:
There is no fiscal impact to County resources beyond staff time spent assisting Contra Costa Transportation Authority in developing the grant application. Receipt of this grant would bring up to $2.5 million to Contra Costa County that would facilitate deployment of electric vehicles and build out electric vehicle workforce development programs.
BACKGROUND:
In 2018, the County partnered with the Contra Costa Transportation Authority (CCTA) to secure a grant from the California Energy Commission (CEC) to develop an Electric Vehicle Readiness Blueprint (Blueprint). The Blueprint was completed in 2019. CCTA and County sustainability staff continue to collaborate on opportunities and strategies to implement the Blueprint.
