Theodora Konstantinou, PhD Lead Consultant, Transportation and Energy Dr. Theodora Konstantinou is a lead transportation and energy consultant at ICF with seven years of experience in transportation electrification and decarbonization. Her work at ICF focuses on developing electric vehicle (EV) roadmaps, charging infrastructure plans, and incentive programs at the state and local levels. Prior to joining ICF, she gained experience at the EV Research Center of the Institute of Transportation Studies at the University of California, Davis, where she led and oversaw research projects related to the used vehicle market and its implications for EVs, equity concerns regarding the impact of incentives on EV adoption, and EV adoption in rural areas. Dr. Konstantinou has worked on projects funded by organizations and agencies, such as the National Science Foundation, the Department of Energy, the California Air Resources Board, and the Indiana Department of Transportation. She holds a PhD in Transportation and Infrastructure Systems Engineering from Purdue University, specializing in medium and heavy-duty vehicle electrification by examining the barriers to adoption and the proper implementation of EV technology in the trucking industry. PROJECT EXPERIENCE City of Lodi Electric Vehicle Charging Infrastructure Master Plan, City of Lodi,10/2023—Present Project Manager. Theodora is overseeing the project funded by the City of Lodi to develop a comprehensive and thoroughly considered EV Charging Infrastructure Plan for the City of Lodi. This Plan provides a systematic approach to building a publicly accessible EV infrastructure network to safely facilitate the operation of EVs within the City and surrounding areas. Years of Experience Professional start date: 08/2017 ICF start date:10/2023 Education PhD, Civil Engineering, Purdue University, 2022 MS, Civil Engineering, Purdue University, 2018 BS, Rural & Surveying Engineering, National Technical University of Athens, 2016 Technical Skillset: Microsoft Office, ArcGIS, NLOGIT, Python Pennsylvania Zero -Emission Vehicle (ZEV) Roadmap, Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection,10/2023-Present Technical Lead. Theodora is helping the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection to update its 2018 EV Roadmap. Given her experience in medium- and heavy-duty vehicle electrification, Theodora will bridge a significant gap in the current EV roadmap by undertaking a thorough assessment of Pennsylvania's current medium - and heavy-duty zero -emission vehicle (ZEV) landscape, and aiding in the development of near-, mid-, and long-term strategies for the accelerated adoption of ZEVs and their associated infrastructure in Pennsylvania. San Diego Regional Zero -Emission Vehicle Incentive Program Strategy, SANDAG,10/2023-Present Project Support. Theodora is contributing to the establishment of a zero -emission vehicle incentive program (ZEVIP) for the San Diego region. The ZEVIP has the goal to facilitate the acquisition of more than 100,000 zero - emission passenger vehicles from 2025 to 2035, with a particular focus on increasing ZEV purchases among residents in low- and moderate -income households and those living in disadvantaged and low-income communities. Theodora will help identify participation barriers, lessons learned from existing programs, and devising incentive options for new and used vehicles. State of Zero -Emission Vehicle Secondary Market and Accessibility Impacts in California's Underserved Communities, California Air Resources Board, 0912022-0912023 Project Manager. The goal of this project is to provide policy recommendations based on a deep understanding of the impact of incentive programs on the light -duty EV market and how the secondary EV market can potentially
