Authorize City Manager to execute a grant of easement and right of way to <br /> Southern California Edison for the purpose of the Charge Ready Transport <br /> Program provision to provide electrical power to vehicle charging stations at the <br /> Santa Ana Regional Transportation Center. <br /> GOVERNMENT CODE §84308 APPLIES: Yes <br /> DISCUSSION <br /> The Public Works Agency (PWA) continues to advance measures that align with the <br /> California Clean Air Act's mobile source emission reduction goals. As part of this <br /> commitment, the City has been actively expanding electric vehicle (EV) infrastructure to <br /> support both fleet electrification and comply with State requirements. The City's EV <br /> infrastructure expansion is driven in part by compliance requirements under the <br /> California Air Resources Board (GARB) Advanced Clean Fleets (ACF) regulation, which <br /> took effect January 1, 2024. As a local government fleet operator, 50% of the City's <br /> annual vehicle purchases from calendar year 2024 through 2026 must be zero-emission <br /> vehicles (ZEV), increasing to 100% ZEV purchases beginning January 1, 2027. <br />
