Caltrans Zero-Emission Vehicle Action Plan 2
CALTRANSZEROEMISSIONVEHICLE ACTION PLAN 2.0Updated March 1, 2021
CALTRANS ZERO-EMISSION VEHICLE ACTION PLAN 2.02INTRODUCTIONTransportation is the largest source of greenhousegas (GHG) emissions in California–with tailpipeemissions, oil extraction, and oil refining combinedaccounting for roughly 50 percent of all in-stateemissions. California leads the nation’s climatechange response since passing the Global WarmingSolutions Act in 2006, which called for a reduction ofstatewide GHG emissions to 1990 levels by 2020. In2016, California codified an additional GHG emissionsreductions of 40% below 1990 levels by 2030.Recent California legislation and Executive Ordersput the state on the path to implement a zero-carbonelectricity grid by 2045 and call on the state to reduceemissions in the transportation sector: Executive Order (EO) N-79-20 sets the followingtargets for California:a. 100% of in-state sales of new passenger carsand light-duty trucks will be zero-emission by2035;b. 100% zero-emission Medium and Heavy Duty(MHD) vehicles in the state by 2045 and by2035 for drayage trucks; andc. 100% zero-emission off-road vehicles andequipment operations by 2035. SB 100 established a new statewide goal toachieve carbon neutrality by 2045As part of EO N-79-20 implementation, theGovernor’s Office of Business and EconomicDevelopment (GO-Biz) has developed acomprehensive a Zero-Emission Vehicle (ZEV)Market Development Strategy. The Strategy aims toincreases transparency and accountability for nonstate and state agencies’ plans to meet California’sZEV goals. EO N-79-20 requires each state agency tosubmit an action plan to GO-Biz on an annual basis.Each state department is required to communicatekey strategies and results under the GO-Biz ZEVMarket Development Strategy objectives assigned tothat department.Caltrans’ ZEV Technical Advisory Committee(ZEV TAC)—facilitated by the HeadquartersSustainability team—provides input and directionto the Department’s ZEV activities. The ZEV TAChas contributed to the preparation of this CaltransZEV Action Plan 2.0, an update to the originalplan released in 2018. This Action Plan guides theDepartment’s ZEV-related policies and plans byboth identifying key actions to meet the State’s ZEVtargets and facilitating Department coordination.Additionally, the ZEV Action Plan 2.0 is a “living2018 CALIFORNIA GHG EMISSIONS BY MAIN ECONOMIC SECTORCOMMERCIAL 5%TRANSPORTATION 41%ELECTRICITY (Imports) 6%RESIDENTIAL 7%425.3 MMT CO2e2018 Total CA EmissionsAGRICULTURE & FORESTRY 8%INDUSTRIAL 24%ELECTRICITY (In State) 9%Source: California Air Resources Board: 2000-2018 GHG Inventory

GREEN FLEET» Increasing zero-emission vehicles on roadand rail.2. RIGHTS-OF-WAY» Coordination to improve ZEV Electric VehicleSupply Equipment (EVSE) within Caltrans’right-of-way.3. DIG SMART» Planning activities to minimize resourcesspent on ZEV technology installations.4. BIKE/WALK INTEGRATION» Supporting biking and walking as zero-emissionmodes of transport.5.

ZEV INFRASTRUCTURE SIGNAGE» Improve visibility to the ZEV market byinstalling ZEV infrastructure signage.7. PARTNERSHIPS AND COORDINATION» Internal and external coordination tosupport our main objectives.3Caltrans’ ZEV Action Plan 2.0 is summarized on thefollowing page. To connect our ZEV Action Plan 2.0to the GO-Biz ZEV Market Development Strategy,Caltrans’ key actions are structured around thefour market pillars outlined in the GO-Biz Strategydocument: Vehicles, Infrastructure, End User, andWorkforce.CALTRANS ZEV PROGRAM CONTACTSEllen Greenberg, FAICPDeputy Director for SustainabilityBob MyersDivision Chief, Division of EquipmentTony Dang, AICPSustainability Program ManagerKyle GradingerDivision Chief, Division of Rail andMass TransportationMAIN AUTHORSJannette RamirezCaltrans ZEV Program Lead (through February 2021)Elena PrioreschiCaltrans ClimateCorps FellowMomo TamaokiCaltrans ZEV Rail and Mass Transit Lead
