Summary
The City plans to develop an effective and comprehensive vehicle charging infrastructure plan, to be known as The Zero-Emissions Vehicle Charging Infrastructure Plan (ZEVCIP) to address the deficiency of citywide charging infrastructure, with a focus on equitable access for under-resourced communities. This effort directly addresses the community's challenges, as identified through tools like the California Healthy Places Index. The City
ranks in the 10.6th percentile for overall community health outcomes, meaning it performs worse than 89.4% of communities statewide in key health indicators such as air quality,
housing, and access to resources. The plan will analyze existing land use, zoning, and transportation patterns while aligning with the City’s Environmental Justice (EJ) element, Climate Action Plan (CAP), and California's greenhouse gas (GHG) reduction goals. Major
deliverables include a comprehensive gap analysis, site-specific recommendations, and funding strategies to ensure actionable implementation.
