trying to position ourz to work in all sectors. >> thank you. >> i just want to say that i loved the language around inclusion and community access was really great frame to look at this. i want to say that was felt definitely up here where we're sitting, thank you. and excited to hear from our speakers colleagues do you want to wait to the end, or want to ask individual speakers questions, wait to the end, is that how we do it last time? yeah we're excited, >> i will turn it over to roland hwang from d.c. >> welcome >> thank you [applause]. thank you for invitation i appreciate the opportunity to speak to the commission and i will commend san francisco for leadership in this area it's important.

electric vehicles i appreciate mrs. wald's question regarding what are we talking about here today? i want to make it clear, while the context of my work is focused on trying to get to 0 when it comes to carbon pollution, greenhouse gasses fortunately, the same vision we need to do to get to 0 when it comes to transportation for carbon pollution, are the same thing when you get to 0, when it comes to air pollutants nitric oxides, and carbons, the goal of this state, and should be the goal of this country should be to move to 0 carbon, electricity, and power our fleet, as much as possible on that type of fuel we cannot meet our carbon goals, without hov moving in that direction.

>> it wasn't coming up, i'm sorry. >> some of you have it in front of you. in regards to the big, big, picture, the global/state view, when it comes to carbon, it's all aligned. study of study, we have now a studies of studies will show the same thing, that is in your packet, i pulled out a quote a recent study of u.s. davis my almamoder, greenhouse gasses, reduction -- great thanks -- what you have are coat quotes from a recent peer reviewed paper, for a number of studies for carbon solution goals which is the same thing as our air pollution health goals, is the same strategies jump out for 2015, reduce carbon deduction,

you need to do three things, first decrease carbon. second, move to 0, or near 0, carbon electricity primarily from renewable electricity of course. finally, when you have this opportunity to decarbonize a grid you use that to back out the stomach burn carbon which is oil and natural gas, that becomes the real challenge, study after study again shows we need to do, efficiency and demand reduction renewable electricity, and renewable vehicles, that is in alignment with san francisco's goals as well. study shows when it comes to light duty vehicle transportation, we have to move to eventually, 100% of the light vehicle transportation needs to be fuelled on some sort of 0

carbon fuel, it can be electricity, to a battery or used to create hydrogen it's able to create from electricity, synthetic gach ral gas, those are rour your opportunities, because the bio mass is in limited supply in terms of the substantialable opportunities, you really want to use the most you can of 0 carbon electricity, to back out as much oil as possible, from the light duty sector it's hard to electrify, aviation, and marine vessels, so we're looking at electric vehicles, either direct electricity or hydrogen, as our key strategies to carbonize light duty vehicle carbon sector.

here's an overview of our national vision how we get passenger vehicles, from the transportation sector how do we get passenger vehicles into alignment with 80% reduction goal by twebt 2050 here's our scenario. first of with the fact that vehicle miles traveled is the recent trajectory, is positive of course, the growing economy, there is growing pressure to increase miled traveled our goal is to hold the total amount of vehicle miles traveled in this country flat. that is a 33% reduction from business as usual in 2050. that is not going to be easy but analysis shows that it's possible. that means, cities will have to look a lot more like san francisco, in terms of

transportation diversity, across the country. san francisco is a leader absolutely have to get our vehicle miles traveled down. that is 33% of the answer. the other remaining stubborn remaining miles half of that should be running on electricity by 2050, the other half needs to be run on efficient light duty vehicle car, our analysis shows, you can get to a fleet average average of 70 miles an hour by 2050. that is higher than today's economy average level, it's very tough to do fortunately, california has been the leader in this state program, and the technology to do that, the other half of the miles traveled in

the fleet, has to run on electricity or hydrogen i'm personally, bullish on electricity, if we used to's grid, this is national level we can take out half the carbon compared to gasoline vehicles, however, our vision has to move to 0 carbon electricity, for the entire county state that is how you get to 0, with light duty vehicles that is our vision. electric vehicle sector itself is at a tipping point, what we see right now is the second generation of electric vehicles coming out. it's a hoouch huge opportunity, with concerted policy efforts concerted leadership from industry, we hope will give us the opportunity to take the electric vehicles to the next level. cars in general, work on five year model cycles, the first

generation of vehicles, the volt, the chevy lease and at thes la, are coming to their second generation of the gm volt will come out this fall the nissan, leaf will come out in a year or two. the tesla, model three will be a mid compact car, these are all coming out in 2-3 years, if policy is not ready to increase the uptake in the marketplace, the risk is that we stall. the risk of stalling out in the vehicle market is the risk of missing our health commission targets, so we see a window of opportunity, for policy leadership, in the next two years, maybe three to accelerate this market and get us to the

next level of market penetration of electric vehicles. one of the areas we're focused on right now is the opportunity, what is missing in our policy set one of the things missing in our policy set is trying to figure out how to get infrastructure out there. here in the bay area, even though we lead in a number of electric vehicles, per capita in the state we are still short of our goal again our state goals, would lead us to have 400,000 electric vehicle, in this bay area a million in the state by 2020. in order to get there, we need more infrastructure, public available infrastructure the problem with the infrastructure is the business model, that support the infrastructure, is very tough. we have seen at least one

company go bankrupt already, because it's a tough value proposition to do such. utilities, with a longer term perspective, they can capture, grid wide electrification, is a key source for potential, to move this market forward, not just on publicly available infrastructure, you might think of putting in front of shopping malls, etc. one of the key nuts we have not cracked, i have talked to experts, globally on this nut, is apartment units multiunit dwellings, that is where san francisco to have take a position of leadership, when it comes to business model of structure, thank you for your attention, i appreciate the

opportunity to present our perspective, the global national, and state perspective i commend the city of san pran tr their lead ir ship, and the nr d.c. e, fully supports your efforts to move forward, thanks [applause]. >> good evening, thank you for having me here my name is damian breen i'm the deputy director of the bay area air quality mjtment district. we're the oldest predating, the u.s., air resource board and u

zcpa. we have 7 million people living here with that area, we regulate 15,000 sources of air pollution, we are enforcement arm for the california, arm resources board for a lot of mobile source, and provide incentive fund funding, and reduce i missions from vehicles our mission is to protect and improve public health air quality and climate, and getting 7 million people to agree on everything we do related to air quality. so in relation to that mission, there is one thing we're all in agreement with, which is what the facts are. in terms of our mission here to improve public health and air quality, we have done a very

good job we have reduced, the number of healthy days for owe zone substantially. since we began regulates in the 70s, but we still do exceed that means, we regularly have unhealthy air here due to owe zone over zone ohzone -- that is something we need to bear in mind as we go forward. the reason that i say that is because as we move forward in this region we're targeting

development, along those highways in that matter. 83% is from our highways and there are a couple of facts, we need to bear in mind as we consider that. our freight, the volume from freight, the 5th largest in the united states actually second largest in the state of california california is predicted to go 20% by 2020, and the people living here by 2030, that statistic, becomes more alarming, when you look at this for the 7.2 million people here now, they drive 5.7 vehicleses, moving the elderly, and young

that means some people are driving two cars every day with a million extra people coming here, you are looking at 800,000 vehicles on our roads and highways so, what is theling whiage of those vehicles, to greenhouse gasses and climate? 40% of our criteria unhealthy pollutants i talked about, and 30% greenhouse gas inventory, comes from these vehicles -- in terms of regional policy for emissions reduction, we have 15% per capita emissions reduction, in greenhouse gasses, set for 2030 been our metropolitan transportation, commission -- targeting, 80% reduction, in greenhouse gasses, by 2050 below

19/90 levels -- electric vehicles, are the key to us achieving those goals, in terms of taking a look at what that means in raw numbers, that means by the year 2020 we need over 100,000 vehicles on the road 0 emission vehicles and by 2,025,250,000 vehicles. so where are we relative to those numbers today? the bay area represents 38% of california's total electric vehicle sales that means, the marketplace here is 10% of the national sales of vehicles, even with those numbers we're 1% of the total vehicle fleet here in the bay area, right now, with the electric vehicles the 37,000 number represents the eb rebates, we think there is another 20% on top of that we

can add, so we're some where around 50,000 vehicles, in this region, in the year 2015 needing to go to 250,000 or more. so what has to happen to get us there? there is a huge regional eb infrastructure here. there is lots of stakeholders, we got electricity providers, we got vehicle manufacturers, all of these groups work together quite well, to foster, electric vehicles, and to move the cause of 0 emissions vehicles forward. if i boil it down to 4, 5, maybe six things maybe more than that that we could do i would say that, you know the price of the vehicles, and charging has to come down, people will not buy these vehicles unless they're

cost competitive, we can do that with incensive dollars, but with the board of manufacturers, when i'm in the room with them, i remind them the price needs to come down roland mentioned the multifamily dwelling issue, that is something we need to solve, we need to put a lot of work into. to be quite honest in the bay area we're 50% multifamily, and 50% single residences if i get the 50% that are single perezes, i'm pretty happy, we can't lose sight of that either. but multifamily is an issue. we need to deal with equity at the air district we set aggressive goals for our investments, we invest about $80 million, a year, in technologies, to reduce emissions, our board set a tar get get for the reductions 50%

need to be impacting communities, those are the worst hit by pollution, poverty, and other criteria here in the bay area. a couple of other things, work place charity, very important for smaller vehicles for what we call the light duty passenger vehicles they act as a show place for achieving our goals if i was to talk to the city from san francisco, for a second, awhat you all could do i think it's very important we havy koe friendly building and zoning laws adopting ordinances to require, electric vehicle stub outs in multifamily, and single family dwellings, buildings in major renovations as well don't lose that opportunity, that is something that is important to do, i think in terms of your own

fleet, more electric vehicles in the city fleet would definitely send the message, they're visible, folks see them, they're something you should all be thinking about. lucky enough we have money to help you one of the things i mentioned about our agencieses we provide grant funding, we are responsible for the deployment of 200 of the public infrastructure, charity stations, here in the bay area. that is the national net, a lot of them came to san francisco, we provided to get people confident, they could go out and buy electric vehicles we have deployed about 1400 chargers, in residential homes, and we take data from that to learn how about electric vehicles are used. coming up, we're going to invest about $14 million, to the electric vehicle space.

programs, that are currently opened opening this week is our infrastructure program, that is to provide additional incensives, for those places for multifanlly dwellings, because we recognize they're an issue, we have incentives, for public fleets for light duty vehicles but we are adding incensives for healthy duty buses, transportation, we will open that program wider so not only can public fleets participate in it. we want to see private fleets ov three or more take advantage of that funding, other sources of funding, i think you should be aware of. we mentioned that all forms of transportation needs to be electrified, meet the goals of 5

and 700,000 vehicles. -- you will see a concerted effort to go over the hed heavy duty sector, over the next 2-3 years, with our ports, and heavy duty centers, one area we're excited about, fr the first time the air district, and it's partners, will be participating in the vehicle retirement program -- we run the most successful retirement vehicle program in the country, period. that is things other air districts, in the state can do which is provide incentives for folks, to purchase electric vehicles, we're hoping this year, we will be able to participate in that program it will be something, we're really

excited about. other things we're doing, we're helping to support planning for local cities and governments, we provided a million dollar grant for the state of california so communities can have pev readiness programs, that is something i know bob is well aware of as cities, and counties, move forward, and think about infrastructure, in the deployment of vehicles, we're also through that plan developed a lot of training educational resources, model ordinances, those types of things and engaged in programs on education and outreach. we have also been working on development of tools, for folks, who own multifamily dwellings, and folkses that are interested in seeing electric infrastructure in them. i wanted to leave you with people to help you because i can't. these are the names of the folk

you need to know in around these ar i can't say on charging, and infrastructure and our program manager, karen is known for these vehicles thank for your attention, i look forward to your questions. [applause]. >> good evening. thank you commissioners for having me here to inviting me to speak to you all, i'm looking down at my nails right now, i'm realizing, i need to get them done now i need to make sure i combo to a healthy nail salon, i appreciate the work you are doing. my name is sekita grant i'm

legal counsel, at the green lining institute. those that are not familiar, we're a social justice, nonprofit, we work to bring economic advancement opportunities, for communities, of color without california. today, i will talk to you guys about how do we build in equity to policy making,particular loo around the environment and energy and clean air with the understanding we have exciting goals, we need to reach around climate change it's important that all californian's, are able to benefit from these programs and we proceed, i will be focusing on the transportation sector, and electric vehicles, as we transfer from a fossil fuel dependant economy, to a cleaner transportation economy with electric vehicles we want to make sure there are economic

students available for low income communities, what we look at this we first want to understand the problem, we have disproportional impacts on communities of color, communities of color are hit first and worst by environment issues, whether you are talking about -- super standing in new york you have the vulnerable po populations, are communities of color, right now, they're improving, but insufficient to address equity concerns, we have disadvantaged communities, that are not represented in the decision making process, that is impacting them and there is lack of access to green jobs.

so as we approach these problems, we lead first with improvement public health and air quality for communities of color, again, we want to focus on long term sustainable investments, green color jobs in these communities, these last two bullets i will be speaking to the most as they're addressing the equity piece of these issues as we do our work we work quite a bit at the state level in sacramento. there say couple of priorities we have when we engage policy makers first is the employment gap, and equity. the second is how do we make clean technologies access to to all californian's, and third is

the diversity in the economy. we talked about the cap and fund trade, we see sb 535, is a policy that requires 25% of funding from the cap and trade program benefit what is referred to as disadvantaged or under solved communities, and 10% of the funds go directly to those communities, just to unpack that a little bit more here, the list of sb 535, 2014 slr 13 funding, in this cycle. $272, going to direct funding, the proposed budget is at

2.237 billion, which might be more, we might be looking at 2.7 billion, to be finalized in june that results in 160 million that will go to disadvantaged communities, i have taken a snapshot that focuses on the transportation we're looking at 1.5 million, 25% of that will go to benefitses disadvantaged communities. so i'm going to spend the most time here, which is how do we make clean energy technologies available, specifically, around electric vehicles i'm charge of the head of koe aligs for senate bill 725, to make sure these technologies, are accessible to communities of

colors. i won't get into this too much. this slide is just to point out that transportation is our largest contributor to climate change at 38% of emissions, and dirty air from emissions, disproportionally impact, low income areas of color, that are at risk of asthma cancer and other pollution-related illnesses. accelerating the shift to electric cars will improve the health for all californians while cutting emissions. senate bill 1275, sets a goal of reaching 1 million electric vehicles, in ten years -- increasing access to disadvantaged communities, we're doing this in several ways
