Zero Emissions Transportation Infrastructure Working Group
The Los Angeles Metropolitan Transportation Authority (Metro) has a goal of reducing 100% of operational GHG emissions by 2050. Metro also has adopted a 2030 Sustainability Strategic Plan through which it commits to:
* Encourage innovation in strategic planning and sustainable practices through adaptation and resilience;
* Transition Metro's revenue fleet to zero emissions technology;
* Develop, adopt, and implement an EV Implementation Plan to expand the use of EVs and access to EV charging infrastructure and more.
At the same time, other government entities are working toward decarbonizing public fleets and non-revenue vehicles. These agencies and Metro may face common challenges related to upfront cost, procurement, and supporting infrastructure, and potential opportunities for efficiencies through collaboration. Examples of local agencies that are setting related goals around clean and decarbonized fleets include:
The City of Los Angeles has committed to:
* Increase the percentage of zero-emission vehicles in the city to 25% by 2025, 80% by 2035, and 100% by 2050;
* Electrify 100% of LADOT buses by 2028;
* Increase the percentage of all trips made by walking, biking, micro-mobility matched rides or transit to at least 35% by 2025 and 50% by 2035;
* Achieve zero days of unhealthy air quality by 2025;
* Achieve a 100% carbon-free electricity grid by 2035.
The County of Los Angeles has developed its first sustainability plan, which includes these priorities:
* Install electric vehicle (EV) chargers at County facilities and properties for public, employee, and fleet use, prioritizing locations in disadvantaged communities.
* Revise and regularly update the County's fleet policy to require zero emission vehicles or better whenever available...
