CSE worked with California Clean Cities Coalitions to accelerate the adoption of alternative fuel vehicles and infrastructure by California’s fleets, employers, and cities. The project was funded by the Department of Energy (DOE) through an award to the Bay Area Air Quality Management District (BAAQMD). The California Statewide Alternative Fuel and Fleets (CA STAFF) project:
- Conducted workshops for cities, employers, and fleets on electric vehicle, hydrogen, and natural gas infrastructure and vehicle best practices.
- Provide one-on-one assistance to fleets to support the deployment of alternative fuel vehicles (AFV).
- Completed needs assessment on alternative fuel vehicle training for first responders and fleet technicians.
