PRTPO maintains a small inventory of resources for use by members and other stakeholders to increase the region’s electric vehicle readiness. This includes plans, studies, forecasts, and funding efforts supportive of battery electric vehicles and fuel cell electric vehicles. It pertains to public agency fleets, personal vehicles, electric retail utility providers, electric vehicle supply equipment (EVSE) businesses, and building and parking codes. It is concerned with all modes of travel. An EV Infrastructure Exchange Group supports occasional information sharing and coordination among PRTPO’s members and their partners. It includes cities, counties, tribes, transit agencies, ports, PUDs, non-profits, businesses, WSDOT, and other stakeholders working together in the Peninsula Region and beyond to support greater use of zero emission vehicles.
PRTPO developed this work program activity to advance the region’s EV readiness in support of its Regional Transportation Plan. PRTPO provides this service in its capacity as a regional convener and information source. For more on this effort, to contribute information or other resources, or to be added to the Infrastructure Exchange Group, please Contact Us.
