How?

In 2017 two Ordinance was passed:

  • City Fleet Zero Emission Vehicle Ordinance (electrification of the City's light-duty passenger sedan fleet by 2022).
  • Electric Vehicle Readiness Ordinance (requiring that all new residential, commercial, and municipal buildings have sufficient electrical infrastructure to charge vehicles in 20 percent of parking spaces simultaneously).

Strategy Direction:

  • Municipal EV Charging Infrastructure Intake Form (collect project proposals from private-sector charging providers)
  • Evaluate needs/site considerations
  • MOU contract
  • Permitting
  • Outreach
  • Construction
  • Charging EV Hub

Transportation Demand Management Plan (to make it easier for everyone to use transit, bikes, etc. ) includes:

  • Express commuter shuttles (paid per stop fee), complete streets, bike share
  • Muni Forward (sync with traffic signals to give green light priority) - currently 30 lines which directly benefited 70% of all riders by increasing bus frequencies, longer AM hours, additional 40' buses, and Sunday service.
  • City electric buses in public transportation

EV Charge Infrastructure (EV Hub):

  • 749 level 2 charging stations
  • 81 level 3 charging stations (DCFC)
  • 204 free charging stations

with a variety of charging networks
