BACKGROUND
The California Air Resources Board (CARB) Advanced Clean Fleet regulations require the City of San Pablo to transition to 100% zero-emissions vehicles (ZEV) by the year 2042. The City has until January 1, 2030, to opt-in to the ZEV Milestones Option and meet ZEV targets as a percentage of fleets. The breakdown provided by CARB is shown in Table 1 below. This option allows for phasing ZEVs into the fleet between 2025 and 2042, depending on the type of vehicle and its usage. Presently, the City owns 35 on-road vehicles and 7 off-road vehicles/equipment, excluding Police Department vehicles. The ZEV Fleet Milestone percentages must be maintained each year until the next compliance milestone.
