Stephanie Kong, PhD Senior Manager, Transportation Electrification Dr. Stephanie Kong is a senior transportation electrification consultant at ICF and has eight years of experience in air pollution measurement, vehicle activity and emissions modeling, GHG and criteria pollutant emissions analysis, and clean transportation policies. Dr. Kong received her Ph.D. from California Institute of Technology, where she focused on air quality modeling using complex statistical and data analytical tools. During her time at the California Air Resources Board (CARB), she led the development of California's transportation emission modeling tools and was the technical lead behind CARB's medium and heavy-duty zero emission fleet regulations. Upon joining ICF, she has been leading multiple projects to help state and local governments to develop zero emission vehicles (ZEV) strategies and ZEV infrastructure deployment planning. PROJECT EXPERIENCE Energy White Fleet Electrification Assessment, LAUSD,1212023— Present Project Manager. Stephanie is leading the white fleet electrification plan for the Los Angeles Unified School District (LAUSD), the second largest school district in the country. The project includes evaluating the current fleet characteristics, provide cost-effective and technologically feasible recommendations for electric vehicle (EV) and equipment replacement, and conduct a comprehensive analysis to inform the number, type, and location of electric vehicle supply equipment (EVSE) needed to support full fleet electrification along with their associated cost and schedule for deployment. The project is also intended to provide comprehensive funding and financing strategies tailored around LAUSD's needs to overcome the cost barriers for transitioning the fleet to EVs and building out the needed charging infrastructure to support them. Years of Experience Professional start date: 09/2015 ICF start date: 02/2023 Education • PhD, Chemical Engineering, California Institute of Technology, 2020 • MS, Chemical Engineering, California Institute of Technology, 2018 • BS, Chemistry, Harvey Mudd College, 2015 Technical Skillset: Python, ArcGIS, SQL, R, Microsoft Office Pennsylvania Zero -Emission Vehicle (ZEV) Roadmap, PADEP,10/2023-Present Deputy Project Manager. Stephanie is working with the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection (PADEP) to update and expand Pennsylvania's zero -emission vehicle (ZEV) Roadmap. The new version of the Roadmap will update PA's strategy related to light -duty EVs in PA and add sections with analysis and recommendations relating to Medium and Heavy -Duty Electric Vehicles and Hydrogen Fuel -Cell Vehicles. The Roadmap aims to produce informative and actionable recommendations that assist in facilitating increased ZEV adoption and maximize societal benefits to the citizens of Pennsylvania. Regional Transportation and Climate Change Multimodal Measures, Met Council, 08/2023—Present Project Manager. Stephanie is leading the development of recommended methodologies to the Metropolitan Council for estimating GHG impacts. These methodologies will be used for individual projects for the Regional Solicitation and potentially for packages or categories of projects, such as the Transportation Improvement Plan and the Long - Range Transportation Plan. The project provides a holistic overview of GHG emissions from various phases, including vehicle lifecycle or well -to -wheel emissions, construction and system user emissions, embodied materials emissions, as well as emissions from vehicle manufacturing and disposal. In addition, the project also evaluates the impact of induced travel demand from projects such as roadway capacity expansion and corridor speed improvements.
