ICF Proposal for City of Santa Ana Fleet Electrification & Electric Vehicle Master Plan Ramon Molina Garcia Transportation Specialist Ramon is a Transportation Specialist in the Climate, Energy and Transportation group at ICF. His expertise is in fleet electrification assessments, creating vehicle and infrastructure rollout timelines, cost analyses, emissions inventorying, and energy demand modeling. He also has extensive experience reflecting state- and federal - level vehicle and emissions regulations in vehicle and infrastructure studies to reflect likely ZEV adoption rates and funding opportunities to accelerate charging and fueling infrastructure deployment. PROJECT EXPERIENCE Battery -Recharging and Hydrogen -Refueling Infrastructure Needs for LDIMD/HD ZEVs, CRC, 06123— 09123 Analyst. Ramon is working with the Coordinating Research Council (CRC) to develop a national battery -recharging and hydrogen -refueling network study in support of the EPA proposed regulatory requirements for light-, medium- and heavy- duty GHG standards. The strategy to meet these stringent GHG and criterial pollutant emission standards centers around increased ZEV penetration through ZEV sales requirements. Ramon co -led the research of EPA's and California's ZEV sales fractions used in this study to project fleet technology mix by state. Ramon also developed a tool to rapidly query NREL's EVI-Pro model to determine the charging port distribution required to meet LDV charging needs by state to illustrate number of charging ports to deploy per year and associated infrastructure costs.

Analyst. Ramon assisted the development an Electric Vehicle Fleet and Charging Station Assessment Master Plan for the City of Laguna Beach in California that a) evaluates the City's fleet and provide recommendations to transition from fossil fuel vehicles to clean transportation options; 2) deploy EV charging stations for City fleet vehicles; 3) provide guidance on how to decommission unnecessary propane and fossil fuel City infrastructure; 4) install EV charging stations throughout the community for public use; and 5) identify potential funding sources to facilitate transition to an all -electric fleet. Development of Transportation Travel Demand Model, California Energy Commission, 01123 — Present Analyst. Ramon is on the development team for a statewide travel demand model for the CEC Transportation Energy Forecasting Unit to project and estimate transportation energy demand from various travel modes (e.g., passenger vehicles, transit, aviation, rail, marine, micro -transit). Ramon is a primary developer for passenger vehicle, aviation, and marine travel mode models, having conducted research and developing a flexible forecasting tool using Python. The model intends to account for emerging transportation modes and other behavioral changes impacting transportation. These modules will include ridesharing and other mobility services; digital substitution and teleworking; travel cost and pricing strategies; and connected and autonomous vehicles. Citywide Fleet Electrification, City of Lodi, 08/2022 — 0512023. Analyst. Ramon assisted the development of a Citywide Fleet Electrification Plan for the City of Lodi to transition their fleet away from fossil fuels and to deploy the necessary charging infrastructure to power their electric vehicles. The main objective of this project is to develop a plan for the City to meet the compliance requirements of the Advanced Clean Fleet regulation in the most cost-effective manner possible. As part of this project Ramon is helping the City of Lodi to: 1) evaluate the City's fleet and provide recommendations to transition from ICE vehicles to electric vehicles; 2) develop recommended charging infrastructure implementation strategies, 3) estimate the costs to 41
