Central Coast ZEV Strategy Plan
Electric cars are the future of transportation, and the number of these vehicles on the road continues to grow. We want to make charging as effortless as possible and need the public’s help to identify opportunities to make it even better and easier to charge on the fly.

Here is one thing you can do to help make a difference in the fight against climate change.

 

Help us identify sites for more electric vehicle charging stations by leaving a comment or dropping a pin on this interactive online map, www.bit.ly/CCZEV

The goal is to identify ideal locations for NEW public charging stations in six California coastal counties between Ventura, Santa Cruz, and San Benito Counties.

The information gathered from the interactive online mapping tool will help create the Central Coast Zero Emission Vehicle Strategy, a tool to accelerate the adoption of zero-emission vehicles in this region.

More charging stations are needed to recharge vehicles, particularly in rural and traditionally underserved communities.

Honoring our Women’s Commissioners

It was an honor to be able to recognize Charlotte Gullap-Moore and Judi Weisbart for their service as First District Women Commissioners. I am beyond grateful for the service that you both have given to not only our First District constituents but all of Santa Barbara County.

Ukrainian Independence Day
It was wonderful to celebrate Ukraine’s Independence Day from the Soviet Union, especially at a time when Russia is actively inviting Ukraine’s sovereign land. The fight for their independence continues.

Please consider helping, even in a small way (remember to write Drones 4 Ukraine in the memo section so it will go to this effort). Follow this link to donate: https://www.drones2ukraine.org/
