Leadership, in the next two years, maybe three to accelerate this market and get us to the next level of Market Penetration of electric vehicles. One of the areas were focused on right now is the opportunity, what is missing in our policy set one of the things missing in our policy set is trying to figure out how to get infrastructure out there. Here in the bay area, even though we lead in a number of electric vehicles, per capita in the state we are still short of our goal again our state goals, would lead us to have 400,000 electric vehicle, in this bay area a million in the state by 2020. In order to get there, we need more infrastructure, public available infrastructure the problem with the infrastructure is the Business Model, that support the infrastructure, is very tough. We have seen at least one company go bankrupt already, because its a tough Value Proposition to do such. Utilities, with a longer term perspective, they can capture, grid wide electrification, is a key source for potential, to move this market forward, not just on publicly available infrastructure, you might think of putting in front of shopping malls, etc. One of the key nuts we have not cracked, i have talked to experts, globally on this nut, is Apartment Units multiunit dwellings, that is where San Francisco to have take a position of leadership, when it comes to Business Model of structure, thank you for your attention, i appreciate the opportunity to present our perspective, the global national, and state perspective i commend the city of san pran tr their lead ir ship, and the nr d. C. E, fully supports your efforts to move forward, thanks [applause]. Good evening, thank you for having me here my name is damian breen im the Deputy Director of the bay area air quality mjtment district. Were the oldest predating, the u. S. , air Resource Board and u zcpa. We have 7 Million People living here with that area, we regulate 15,000 sources of air pollution, we are enforcement arm for the california, arm Resources Board for a lot of mobile source, and provide Incentive Fund funding, and reduce i missions from vehicles our mission is to protect and improve Public Health air quality and climate, and getting 7 Million People to agree on everything we do related to air quality. So in relation to that mission, there is one thing were all in agreement with, which is what the facts are. In terms of our mission here to improve Public Health and air quality, we have done a very good job we have reduced, the number of healthy days for owe zone substantially. Since we began regulates in the 70s, but we still do exceed that means, we regularly have unhealthy air here due to owe zone over zone ohzone that is something we need to bear in mind as we go forward. The reason that i say that is because as we move forward in this region were targeting development, along those highways in that matter. 83 is from our highways and there are a couple of facts, we need to bear in mind as we consider that. Our freight, the volume from freight, the 5th largest in the United States actually second largest in the state of California California is predicted to go 20 by 2020, and the People Living here by 2030, that statistic, becomes more alarming, when you look at this for the 7. 2 Million People here now, they drive 5. 7 vehicleses, moving the elderly, and young that means some people are driving two cars every day with a million extra people coming here, you are looking at 800,000 vehicles on our roads and highways so, what is theling whiage of those vehicles, to Greenhouse Gasses and climate . 40 of our criteria unhealthy pollutants i talked about, and 30 Greenhouse Gas inventory, comes from these vehicles in terms of Regional Policy for emissions reduction, we have 15 per capita emissions reduction, in Greenhouse Gasses, set for 2030 been our metropolitan transportation, commission targeting, 80 reduction, in Greenhouse Gasses, by 2050 below 19 90 levels electric vehicles, are the key to us achieving those goals, in terms of taking a look at what that means in raw numbers, that means by the year 2020 we need over 100,000 vehicles on the road 0 emission vehicles and by 2,025,250,000 vehicles. So where are we relative to those numbers today . The bay area represents 38 of californias total electric vehicle sales that means, the marketplace here is 10 of the National Sales of vehicles, even with those numbers were 1 of the total vehicle fleet here in the bay area, right now, with the electric vehicles the 37,000 number represents the eb rebates, we think there is another 20 on top of that we can add, so were some where around 50,000 vehicles, in this region, in the year 2015 needing to go to 250,000 or more. So what has to happen to get us there . There is a huge regional eb infrastructure here. There is lots of stakeholders, we got electricity providers, we got vehicle manufacturers, all of these groups Work Together quite well, to foster, electric vehicles, and to move the cause of 0 emissions vehicles forward. If i boil it down to 4, 5, maybe six things maybe more than that that we could do i would say that, you know the price of the vehicles, and charging has to come down, people will not buy these vehicles unless theyre cost competitive, we can do that with incensive dollars, but with the board of manufacturers, when im in the room with them, i remind them the price needs to come down roland mentioned the multifamily dwelling issue, that is something we need to solve, we need to put a lot of work into. To be quite honest in the bay area were 50 multifamily, and 50 single residences if i get the 50 that are single perezes, im pretty happy, we cant lose sight of that either. But multifamily is an issue. We need to deal with equity at the air district we set aggressive goals for our investments, we invest about 80 million, a year, in technologies, to reduce emissions, our board set a tar get get for the reductions 50 need to be impacting communities, those are the worst hit by pollution, poverty, and other criteria here in the bay area. A couple of other things, work place charity, very important for smaller vehicles for what we call the light duty Passenger Vehicles they act as a show place for achieving our goals if i was to talk to the city from San Francisco, for a second, awhat you all could do i think its very important we havy koe friendly building and zoning laws adopting ordinances to require, electric vehicle stub outs in multifamily, and Single Family dwellings, buildings in major renovations as well dont lose that opportunity, that is something that is important to do, i think in terms of your own fleet, more electric vehicles in the city fleet would definitely send the message, theyre visible, folks see them, theyre something you should all be thinking about. Lucky enough we have money to help you one of the things i mentioned about our agencieses we provide grant funding, we are responsible for the deployment of 200 of the public infrastructure, charity stations, here in the bay area. That is the national net, a lot of them came to San Francisco, we provided to get people confident, they could go out and buy electric vehicles we have deployed about 1400 chargers, in residential homes, and we take data from that to learn how about electric vehicles are used. Coming up, were going to invest about 14 million, to the electric vehicle space. Programs, that are currently opened opening this week is our infrastructure program, that is to provide additional incensives, for those places for multifanlly dwellings, because we recognize theyre an issue, we have incentives, for public fleets for light duty vehicles but we are adding incensives for healthy duty buses, transportation, we will open that program wider so not only can public fleets participate in it. We want to see private fleets ov three or more take advantage of that funding, other sources of funding, i think you should be aware of. We mentioned that all forms of Transportation Needs to be electrified, meet the goals of 5 and 700,000 vehicles. You will see a concerted effort to go over the hed heavy duty sector, over the next 23 years, with our ports, and heavy duty centers, one area were excited about, fr the first time the air district, and its partners, will be participating in the Vehicle Retirement Program we run the most successful retirement Vehicle Program in the country, period. That is things other air districts, in the state can do which is provide incentives for folks, to purchase electric vehicles, were hoping this year, we will be able to participate in that program it will be something, were really excited about. Other things were doing, were helping to support planning for local cities and governments, we provided a Million Dollar grant for the state of california so communities can have pev readiness programs, that is something i know bob is well aware of as cities, and counties, move forward, and think about infrastructure, in the deployment of vehicles, were also through that plan developed a lot of training educational resources, model ordinances, those types of things and engaged in programs on education and outreach. We have also been working on development of tools, for folks, who own multifamily dwellings, and folkses that are interested in seeing electric infrastructure in them. I wanted to leave you with people to help you because i cant. These are the names of the folk you need to know in around these ar i cant say on charging, and infrastructure and our program manager, karen is known for these vehicles thank for your attention, i look forward to your questions. [applause]. Good evening. Thank you commissioners for having me here to inviting me to speak to you all, im looking down at my nails right now, im realizing, i need to get them done now i need to make sure i combo to a healthy nail salon, i appreciate the work you are doing. My name is sekita grant im legal counsel, at the green lining institute. Those that are not familiar, were a social justice, nonprofit, we work to bring Economic Advancement opportunities, for communities, of color without california. Today, i will talk to you guys about how do we build in equity to policy making,particular loo around the environment and energy and clean air with the understanding we have exciting goals, we need to reach around Climate Change its important that all californians, are able to benefit from these programs and we proceed, i will be focusing on the transportation sector, and electric vehicles, as we transfer from a fossil fuel dependant economy, to a cleaner transportation economy with electric vehicles we want to make sure there are economic students available for low income communities, what we look at this we first want to understand the problem, we have disproportional impacts on communities of color, communities of color are hit first and worst by environment issues, whether you are talking about super standing in new york you have the vulnerable po populations, are communities of color, right now, theyre improving, but insufficient to address equity concerns, we have disadvantaged communities, that are not represented in the Decision Making process, that is impacting them and there is lack of access to green jobs. So as we approach these problems, we lead first with improvement Public Health and air quality for communities of color, again, we want to focus on long term sustainable investments, green color jobs in these communities, these last two bullets i will be speaking to the most as theyre addressing the equity piece of these issues as we do our work we work quite a bit at the state level in sacramento. There say couple of priorities we have when we engage policy makers first is the employment gap, and equity. The second is how do we make Clean Technologies access to to all californians, and third is the diversity in the economy. We talked about the cap and fund trade, we see sb 535, is a policy that requires 25 of funding from the cap and trade Program Benefit what is referred to as disadvantaged or under solved communities, and 10 of the funds go directly to those communities, just to unpack that a little bit more here, the list of sb 535, 2014 slr 13 funding, in this cycle. 272, going to direct funding, the proposed budget is at 2. 237 billion, which might be more, we might be looking at 2. 7 billion, to be finalized in june that results in 160 million that will go to disadvantaged communities, i have taken a snapshot that focuses on the transportation were looking at 1. 5 million, 25 of that will go to benefitses disadvantaged communities. So im going to spend the most time here, which is how do we make Clean Energy Technologies available, specifically, around electric vehicles im charge of the head of koe aligs for senate bill 725, to make sure these technologies, are accessible to communities of colors. I wont get into this too much. This slide is just to point out that transportation is our largest contributor to Climate Change at 38 of emissions, and dirty air from emissions, disproportionally impact, low income areas of color, that are at risk of asthma cancer and other pollutionrelated illnesses. Accelerating the shift to electric cars will improve the health for all californians while cutting emissions. Senate bill 1275, sets a goal of reaching 1 million electric vehicles, in ten years increasing access to disadvantaged communities, were doing this in several ways first is equity is clean vehicle rebates, which damian mentioned on one of his slides that this state subsidizes the electric Vehicle Program, to make sure low and moderate income communities, are receiving a higher incensive amount than others it will also set an income cap level, so wealthy individuals, dont have access to this because they can afford to purchase electric vehicles without it. There is increased financing options, there is a request proposal right now, by the california Resources Board how we can create a financing structure that will furthereder increase access, to low and moderate income individual, there is also car sharing programs, and pie lat programs that are starting around that charging stations, and multifamily dwelling buildings, is a big issue, as head for charge coalition, there say cash for clunkierses program, which is really focused quite a bit on the south coast and the Central Valley at this point because of the really bad air quality out there, were looking for ways to ensure that its accessible throughout it already is accessible throughout california, but there is additional funding for those areas, because of the poor air quality, and Mobility Options turning in a clunkier instead of necessarily buying a new vehicle, you can get some rebates towards public transportation. This is where we are with some of the solicitations out currently, i mentioned the financing assistance program, that is up to 1. 5 million, that will go to help with financing, the purchasing of new and leased electric vehicles that should be finalized some time this summer. This month, we have a car sharing pilot program, for disadvantaged communities that will provide up to 2. 5 million for clean air car sharing programs, which will come out may 27th. Is the emfp the cash for clunkiers program, we will have a kick off in San Francisco, next week, as this rolls out. And the next is the income cap and equity proigs vision there is 1. 5 million that will go towards that, that will roll out some time in the fall and winter. So another piece of this which i will go through quickly as we look at our transition to a clean energy economy, its important to ensure all economies, have access to the economy that is emerging in california today, we have over working in Energy Solar Power and related fields we have people of color, representing 60 of california how do we make sure this is representative of the diversity here in california . Supplier diversity and inclusive hiring are very important touch points, that green lining focuses on. What this slide represents is the strategies around increasing diversity in sectors, such as the clean energy economy, ensuring its representative of california diversity, also of course competition and transparency, we want more people applying for these jobs, and trained in these new technology, so there is increased competition, so there is a robust and diverse hiring pool for this new economy, the supplier diversity which is really, what businesses are getting the contracts . Were making sure minority owned, women owned and lgbt and veterans programs those are under served, to have access to these types of contracts, once company, are contracting to do this work, who are they hiring . Spending money around low income communities, we want to make sure folks are hiring from those communities, and the economic ben tit beb benefits for the economies, are involved. What is next for all of you folks in the room to become educated, and push through policies, that are beneficials to all californians. Thank. [applause] amazing presentations. Thank you everybody. Questions discussion . Comments from the commission . You know. I will wait. Commissioner stephenson . I have a few questions, in terms of the incensives, were talking about getting people to purchase electric vehicles i cant remember i think it was your point about the costs coming down. How close to the incensives get to offsetting the differentuation between an electric and nonelectric vehicle right now . In the studies we have looked at there is Energy Density were looking at basically, the cost of a total Combustion Engine vehicle, is 100 per kilowatt hours, edwif lent sea, for battery, is 100, per kilowatt hours so the difference between vehicle is offset substantially by the grants that are currently available, if we take a regular vehicle, by comparison we have done this as part of our plan with the grants and incentives, they come down with 5 7,000 in termses of purchase price, and the difference between regular vehicle and one of these vehicles but thats about the amount right. In terms of leases because the vehicles need these vehicles to meet the regulatory requirements, the lease deals on these vehicles are pretty incredible. Im not doing car commercials, but [laughter]. I think you could quite comfortably, in the city of
