Electric Vehicle Equity

This page highlights our engagement efforts, past community workshops, and updates on how resident input is shaping equitable clean transportation initiatives across the city.

The Mayor and City Council are committed to focusing on residents who have been underserved and are most impacted by climate change and increasing greenhouse gas emissions. During the development of the Transportation Electrification Action Plan, a specific subcommittee focused on equity and identifying cleaner transportation solutions.

In support of this initiative, the Office of Sustainability prepared a Transportation Equity Map, developed based on Justice40 criteria.
