Description

Local Solution
(Type of Activity: Policy/Planning/Land Use )

Integrate charging equity into local climate and mobility plans; ensuring chargers are installed where residents live and work rather than primarily along highway travel corridors, and prioritizing low-income, farmworker, and rural communities that currently lack accessible charging infrastructure despite having the greatest transportation energy burdens.

Existing Examples of Progress: The City of Palm Springs operates roughly half of all publicly accessible chargers in the city, many of them city-owned or operated through license agreements with private firms. These chargers are strategically located in disadvantaged neighborhoods and public parking areas to encourage more electric vehicle (EV) trips and reduce fossil fuel dependency.
Region: Central Coast, Inland Deserts
