Transportation Electrification
MTC supports increasing access to clean mobility options through the electrification of transportation systems.
Transitioning to electric transportation options enables more efficient travel while eliminating tailpipe emissions. Paired with California’s renewable electricity, transportation electrification (TE) can significantly reduce pollution from transportation, the region’s largest source of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions.
Electrification to Reach Regional Goals
TE is a key strategy in Plan Bay Area 2050+, the long-range regional plan. This strategy will help the Bay Area achieve its target of a 19% reduction in transportation-related GHG emissions by 2035 (compared to 2005). To support transportation electrification in the Bay Area, MTC has committed $65 million in funding for the following new TE Initiatives:
| MTC Transportation Electrification Initiatives | Investment |
|---|---|
|
Charging Infrastructure
|
$30M |
|
Electric Bikeshare
|
$20M |
|
Local Public Fleet Electrification
|
$10M |
|
Transportation Electrification Planning and Program Strategy
|
$5M |
| Total | $65M |
These TE Initiatives include opportunities for capital project grant funding and planning and technical assistance for local agencies. This page will be updated with funding opportunities for the initiatives above as they become available.
