This Localized Health Impacts Report describes the potential health impacts to communities from projects seeking California Energy Commission (CEC) funding under Grant Solicitation GFO-22-611. This grant initiative supports electric vehicle (EV) charging infrastructure for high-mileage on-demand transportation services, car sharing enterprises, car rental agencies, and the public. Under California Code of Regulations Title 13, Section 2343, this report is available for public comment for 30 days before projects can be approved at a publicly noticed business meeting.
CEC staff has proposed three projects for Clean Transportation Program or similar grant funding awards under Solicitation GFO-22-611. Each of these projects has multiple locations. Based on project site information provided by the awardees, 14 of the 21 communities where these projects are located are considered high-risk communities. However, staff does not anticipate a net increase in the pollution burden for the communities where these projects are located.
