Specifications include, but are not limited to: The project is for the creation of a Zero-Emission Transition Plan in accordance with Federal Transit Administration (FTA) requirements. For transit agencies to be eligible for projects related to low- or no-emission vehicles through the Bus and Bus Facilities Competitive Grant Program under 49 USC 5339(b) and 5339(c), including electric vehicles, charging stations, and maintenance facilities, the FTA requires the development of a Zero-Emission Transition Plan. The plan must be completed by December 2024. The goal is for the development and completion of this plan to ensure CAMPO’s transit agency, JAC, and the community it serves will benefit from future electrification of the transit system. The Zero-Emission Transition Plan will specifically: • Demonstrate a long-term fleet management plan with a summary of how CAMPO and JAC plan to use current or future resources or acquisitions. • Address current and future resources to meet the costs for the transition and implementation. • Consider policy and legislation impacting low or no-emission technologies. • Examine the existing state and future needs of the JAC and CAMPO’s transit system as it relates to possible electrification technology transition. • Describe the partnership with NV Energy or other alternative fuel providers. • Examine the impact of a possible electric transition on JAC and Carson City’s workforce including analysis of skills gaps, training needs, etc. related to electrification or other alternative fuels to avoid displacement of the existing workforce. • Demonstrate cooperation and outreach with JAC ridership including several historically underserved communities, the Washoe Tribe’s Stewart Community, those with limited English proficiency, and low-income individuals.
