Issue
ISSUE

Metro is committed to meeting ambitious emissions reduction goals through various strategies across our service region by reducing our agency emissions and serving Los Angeles County with more sustainable transit options.
The 2023-2028 EVPSP provides a strategic blueprint for sustainable, cost-effective, and efficient investments in electric vehicle charging infrastructure for Metro (Attachment A). The EV Parking Strategy complements the 2019 Metro Climate Action and Adaptation Plan and 2020 Moving Beyond Sustainability Plan, focusing on opportunities to increase employee access to EVs, support transit riders with public charging, and continue Metro's long-term transition to zero-emission vehicles.
A Metro Board approval of the EVPSP will provide a clear vision and direction to work with internal and external partners and deploy charging infrastructure at priority sites.
