Caltrans ZEV Strategy
As the steward of California’s state highway system, Caltrans serves an important and unique role in the state’s efforts to increase zero-emission vehicles (ZEVs) on California’s roadways. In coordination with Caltrans Divisions and Districts, other state agencies, and external partners, the Department's ZEV strategy includes such actions as:
- Transitioning the Caltrans vehicle fleet, including locomotives, to ZEVs.
- Installing charging stations at Caltrans workplaces and public charging stations along the SHS.
- Investing in public charging accessibility through the facilitation of competitive grant programs.
- Incentivizing the adoption of zero-emission freight technology across the state.
- Supporting local transit agencies' transition to zero-emission technology through funding and technical assistance.
