Update on Local, State and
Federal Transportation
Issues as they Relate to our Efforts to Achieve
Clean Air
Currently there are numerous transportation-related efforts, initiatives, legislative proposals, and new laws at the local, state and federal levels which can potentially assist or impact AQMD’s efforts to reduce mobile source emissions. With more than 80% of all emissions in the basin coming from on-road and off-road mobile sources, it is necessary to engage in these efforts to assist in emission reductions from transportation activities, including goods movement, and other related mobile sources. Staff will provide a comprehensive but brief overview and status update on the current state of transportation issues at all levels, including recent initiatives approved by the Board. |

ACTION ITEM: |

Electric Vehicle Infrastructure
Update and Assume
Administrative Lead for CEC’s EV-Ready SoCal
Infrastructure Project
(PDF, 35 kb)
Southern California has an established network of public charging for electric vehicles. Over time, the mix of electric vehicles and their charging needs have evolved. State and federal funds are being invested in our region to support battery electric vehicles, plug-in hybrid electric vehicles, and charging infrastructure. In January 2010, the Los Angeles Department of Water and Power (LADWP) submitted a grant application under AB118 PON 09-006 for alternative and renewable fuel and vehicle technology on behalf of the Southern California Regional Collaborative. In January 2011, this proposal received $840,750 in funding from CEC to install electric vehicle charging stations at key Southern California locations. This action is to execute an MOU with CEC for AQMD to replace LADWP as the lead agency to administer the EV-Ready SoCal Infrastructure Project and to recognize upon receipt up to $840,750 from CEC towards this project.

BOARD ACTION MAY 20, 2011:
8.
Electric Vehicle Infrastructure Update and Assume
Administrative Lead for CEC’s
EV- Ready SoCal Infrastructure Project
Dr. Miyasato gave the presentation on this item, which he explained was due
in part to the Board’s direction to increase outreach for EVs and clean
fueled vehicles. He presented a
map showing the existing EV infrastructure throughout the basin, noting that
many of the approximately 2,000 charge points at the 500 charge locations
are now obsolete. These charge
points have the old type of connectors which will not work with the EVs that
are on the market now and several more models scheduled for the 2012-2013
time frame.
Because there is going to be a whole
host of vehicles available for commercial purchase or lease in Southern
California, this region has been very active in trying to establish a
collaborative to get federal and state funding into our region to support EV
infrastructure. The AQMD joined
with a host of cities and others, in what they called the Southern
California Electric Vehicle (SoCalEV) Regional Collaborative; and earlier
this year, the CEC awarded the SoCalEV collaborative funding for a proposal.
The LADWP was going to be the lead agency on this project, but has
asked the AQMD to administer the program because they do not have the
resources at this time.
Therefore, staff would like to accept that opportunity and obligation to
serve as a lead agency for SoCal EV, receive funding of about $840,000 from
the CEC, and then implement these charge points throughout the region.
Dr. Wallerstein added that staff is working with
the statewide collaborative on federal funding; so, this is just a first
increment of funding, and staff hopes there will be much more to come.
In response to Councilwoman Perry’s inquiry as to
providing economic development opportunity for small and startup companies
for installation of the infrastructure, Dr. Wallerstein indicated that staff
would discuss with the collaborative members a sort of general provision to
recommend be included in their RFP.
MOVED BY BENOIT, SECONDED BY CACCIOTTI, AND
CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY (Absent:
Antonovich, Burke, Carney, Loveridge, and
Nelson), AGENDA ITEM 8 APPROVED AS
RECOMMENDED:
1) Recognizing upon receipt up to $840,750 from
CEC to administer the SoCalEV Infrastructure
Project into the Clean Fuels Fund (31).
2) Authorizing the Chairman to:
a) Execute an
agreement with CEC for AQMD to administer the
SoCalEV Infrastructure Project;
and b) Execute
contracts with the members of the SoCalEV
Regional Collaborative for a total amount not to
exceed $798,750.
