Assuring Equitable Access and Building Technical Capacity for Transportation Decarbonization Among Native Nations

This project has multiple objectives, as follows:

  • Eliminate barriers to tribal Zero Emission Vehicle (ZEV) access: Foster community-directed engagement identifying concerns, needs, and opportunities. Facilitate active participation and direction from Native communities, ZEV and utility experts, and our Clean Cities partners.
  • Generate greater ZEV awareness: Generate greater awareness broadly at many popular, tribal-sponsored events. Foster awareness at more technical energy and climate events and support tribal participation in green transportation programs.
  • Build ZEV technical capacity Support creation of community-directed ZEV transition plans and site-specific TA and workforce training, building tribal and utility capacity for future progress.
  • Support long-term pollution reduction by ZEV market expansion: Reduce greenhouse gases (GHG) and air pollution through greater adoption of ZEVs and the infrastructure to support them throughout Indian Country and generally in rural areas.

Community-Driven Transportation Plans for the Northeast 2022 Projects for the Electrification of America's Transportation Sector Northeast Energy Efficiency Partnerships, Inc. In progress Oct 2023

States impacted:

  • Connecticut
  • New Hampshire
  • Vermont

Community-Driven Transportation Plans for the Northeast

The project will establish a replicable framework for developing, supporting, and advancing community-owned clean transportation implementation plans. The project will support a cohort of communities to develop community-led clean transportation audits, undertake a program of community engagement, knowledge-building, training, and technical assistance, and develop implementation plans for community-identified clean transportation projects. The project will include rural and urban communities and use a community of practice model to share cross-community knowledge and provide widely accessible education and training. It is intended to produce actionable, community-owned implementation plans for the cohort communities and replicable tools and models for other communities. The project is lead by Northeast Energy Efficiency Partnership and involves two Clean Cities Coalitions: Vermont Clean Cities and Connecticut Southwest Area Clean Cities.

Decarbonizing App-Based Deliveries in San Francisco 2022 Projects for the Electrification of America's Transportation Sector City and County of San Francisco In progress Sep 2023

States impacted:

  • California

Decarbonizing App-Based Deliveries in San Francisco

This project aims to quantify and demonstrate the benefits of using electric bicycles (e-bikes) for application- (app) based deliveries, by identifying the economic and non-economic advantages of using e-bikes to make deliveries of food and consumer goods. The project will collect and use extensive data to quantify improvements in operational efficiency, increases worker safety, increases worker earnings, reduces demand on the curb, reduces greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, vehicle miles traveled (VMT) and vehicle congestion, while creating workforce development opportunities. The also plan s to develop an online resource for users to quickly determine if e-bikes are appropriate for their needs. This project will decarbonize transportation emissions by informing effective and comprehensive clean mobility policies, pedestrian and bicycle safety, and establish a clear business case for app-based delivery companies and its workers to increase the use of e-bikes instead of driving.
