Strategies and Actions <br />How Do We Get There? <br />On the municipal side, transportation emissions largely come from either the municipal fleet or from employee <br />commutes. The City of Redwood City has already adopted a number of municipal fleet and employee commute <br />measures that reduce emissions, including adopting an efficient fleet policy, replacing gas -powered fleet passenger <br />vehicles with hybrid vehicles and electric vehicles, and incentivizing commute alternatives for employees. The City <br />has also begun switching out gas -powered mobile equipment to electric and battery -powered equipment to address <br />off-road emissions. <br />The City has also taken advantage of past grants for Electric Vehicle (EV) charging infrastructure, installing 22 <br />charging stations available to the public at City facilities including the Main Library, Redwood Shores Library, Red <br />Morton Community Center, Jefferson Garage, and Marshall Street Garage. State and federal agencies are now <br />beginning to focus on large-scale deployment of EV infrastructure and transition to EV fleets. This Plan calls for the <br />City to consider an electric vehicle purchasing policy, focusing on the replacement of passenger vehicles and the <br />installation of EV charging equipment in the short term, with heavier duty vehicles phased in over the long term as <br />appropriate replacement models come to market. <br />Redwood City's robust Employee Commute Program incentivizes alternative transportation to work by subsidizing <br />employees' transit commute costs and by providing incentives for having used alternative commutes. The program <br />is popular and this Plan calls for refining the outreach program and developing ways to increase participation <br />Redwood City General Plan Goal (BE -31): Encourage development and implementation of strategies that <br />minimize vehicle trips and vehicle miles traveled. <br />Electric Fleet Policy and Employee Commute Program <br />Municipal Fleet Establish policy requiring the prioritization of electric vehicles and mobile <br />TM -1 109 <br />Electrification Policy equipment. <br />Commute Continue commute alternatives program including pre-tax commuter <br />TM -3 Alternatives benefits, transit subsidies, and carpool program. <br />Program: Municipal <br />City of Redwood City Climate Action Plan 52 <br />
