Localized Health Impacts Report: Projects Awarded Funding Under Solicitation GFO-23-607 — Tribal Electric Vehicle Infrastructure, Planning, and Workforce Training and Development

This Localized Health Impacts Report describes the potential health impacts to communities from projects seeking California Energy Commission (CEC) funding under Grant Solicitation GFO-23-607. This grant initiative seeks to accelerate zero-emission vehicle adoption among California Native American tribes by funding electric vehicle infrastructure, infrastructure planning, and workforce training and development. 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 nine projects for Clean Transportation Program grant funding awards under Solicitation GFO-23-607. Based on project site information provided by the awardees, 6 of the 10 communities where projects installing electric vehicle charging infrastructure are located are considered high-risk communities. Staff does not anticipate a net increase in the pollution burden for the communities where these projects are located.
