Box 98 Downieville, CA 95936 (530)289-3201 FAX (530) 289-2828 652 Bryan Davey Executive Director January 15, 2024 Kaylon Hall Sierra County Transportation Commission P. 0. Box 98 Downieville, CA 95936 Dear Nevada County, We are writing this letter to express our support for Sierra County 2025-26 Sustainable Transportation Planning Grant Program - Sustainable Communities Competitive Grant application to develop a county and regional Zero Emission Vehicle (ZEV) Infrastructure Readiness Plan. Not only do we support this effort in spirit, but we would also like to join several community organizations to participate in the Plan's development, completion and successful implementation. Progress in ZEV infrastructure development in our county and other rural counties has lagged that of more populated regions, and at the same time, abundant and reliable charging is becoming increasingly important for economic sustainability, environmental health, safety, and quality of life for residents and visitors alike. Currently only eight percent ofCalifornia's charging infrastructure exists in the 40 counties ofCalifornia considered rural. Without appropriate infrastructure, ZEV purchase rates have also fallen behind in these areas. In California, roughly one in every 18 autos and small trucks is a ZEV, however in the combined region ofNevada and Sierra Counties, only one in every 36 vehicles is zero emission. Those most impacted by this slow transition in rural counties are those that are disadvantaged, that have low household incomes, and even with ownership of a ZEV, have little access to charging, either at public locations or at home. One ofthe primary reasons that rural counties have fallen behind in the ZEV transition is a lack of strategy and readiness for ZEV infrastructure development. There are often additional hurdles for developing charging infrastructure in rural locations including a lack of supporting infrastructure such as power and broadband, challenging terrain and climate conditions, less immediate demand and revenues for charging. and generally less investment activity. It is for these reasons that action-oriented, broad community-driven planning is extraordinarily important, sO that our county and region can take a proactive role in identifying optimal opportunities for charger development.
