ICF Proposal for City of Santa Ana Fleet Electrification & Electric Vehicle Master Plan February 27, 2024 transition from ICE vehicles to EVs and to develop and deploy charging infrastructure, 4) discuss the barriers to fleet transition and describe strategies to overcome them, and 5) develop a plan to leverage incentive funding and evaluate options for financing and innovative business models. Fleet Electrification Implementation Rollout Strategy, City of Raleigh, 0612022 — Present. Analyst. This project is intended to develop a Fleet Electrification Implementation Rollout Strategy for the City of Raleigh to: a) evaluate the City's fleet and provide recommendations to transition from fossil fuel vehicles to clean transportation options; 2) identify potential funding sources and procurement strategies; 3) develop a sustainable EV charging infrastructure plan for City fleet vehicles; 4) provide a training plan and educational guidelines for City staff who will operate EVs; 5) review the City's EV charging software system solution and recommend best practices for aligning software; and 6) provide recommendation to improve accessibility and address equity issues through electrification and charging infrastructure deployment. This plan will serve as a blueprint for how the City can transition its fleet to electric and alternative fueled technologies and deploy the charging infrastructure needed to power them. Medium and Heavy -Duty Vehicle ZEV Blueprint, SANDAG, 06/2022 — Present. Analyst. Ramon is assisting an effort with San Diego Association of Government (SANDAG) to develop a medium - and heavy-duty (MD/HD) zero emission vehicle blueprint that guides the transition of freight and transit vehicles to zero -emission technology and highlight the challenges related to technology readiness, infrastructure availability, and cost. As part of this work, Ramon is forecasting the MD/HD ZEV adoption in the region along with charging and fueling infrastructure needed to support them. The blueprint will also identify key implementation strategies that the region can take to accelerate the adoption of zero emissions MD/HD vehicles. Quantifying the Environmental Justice Impacts of Zero -Emission Vehicles, International Council on Clean Transportation, 0612022 — 01/2023. Analyst. Ramon is a technical and policy analyst assisting three different firms (ICF, Forth. and Cenex) to assess the disparity in ZEV ownership and usage across various markets, evaluate current metrics and approaches adopted by different jurisdictions to quantify ZEV equity impacts and examine existing governments' strategies to enhance equity and promote EJ within their ZEV policies. The outcome of this research is to provide International ZEV Alliance with recommendations on additional strategies and mechanisms that can be employed to strengthen the equity aspects of ZEV policies. Clean Truck Comparative Report —LA Metro, Los Angeles, 05/2022 — 08/2022. Analyst. Ramon was part of a project with LA Metro to provide an objective assessment of four types of vehicle technologies (i.e., diesel, hydrogen, battery electric, and natural gas), over immediate, short-, medium-, and long - terms, on market maturity, infrastructure and energy supply readiness and needs, cost of ownership, emissions and public health impacts, and barriers to adoption. As part of this report, Ramon provided insights on the level of technology transformation needed for LA Metro to meet its public health and climate goals, as well as the scale of fueling and charging infrastructure build out to support this transition. The report will serve as a technology and infrastructure roadmap to inform decision -making among policymakers and Metro staff.
