Based in part on the original membership of the Collaborative between June 2023 and December 2024 and recommendations in the Decarbonizing Drayage Roadmap 2050, the selected firm/team will decide on appropriate re-composition of the Collaborative, recruitand secure participation from new members, organize a kick-off event, and publish a Collaborative webpage. • Task 2: Lead ongoing Collaborative management. This will include the design, scheduling, facilitation, and record-keeping of regular meetings. • Task 3: Work with the Collaborative to renew the Collaborative charter and work plan to specify its continued membership, scope-of-work, goals, priorities, structure, key deliverables, community engagement strategies, funding strategy, timeline, and decision-making protocols that include stakeholder input. • Task 4: Work with the Collaborative to guide and facilitate the implementation of the Roadmap. This may include the development, tracking and reporting of metrics; formation of work groups; and/or the identification of any research and/or analysis needed to successfully implement the Roadmap. The work group and/or research and analysis priorities will be set by the Collaborative, but may include: o Development of a secondary zero-emission truck market o Trucker outreach and technical support o Workforce development (further addressed in Task 7)
