EV BLUEPRINT IMPLEMENTATION
OVERVIEW
The City of Sacramento is working to expand access to electric vehicles and electric bikes in our historically disadvantaged communities. We want to hear from you about how to make sure community members know about these important projects that are coming to your neighborhoods. Below are some of the initial projects.
ELECTRIC VEHICLE CHARGER INSTALLATION
ChargePoint electric vehicle chargers will be installed at seven community centers, seven libraries, and one regional park. The locations are listed below.

LIBRARIES

REGIONAL PARK

CAR SHARE ACCESS
The City is working in partnership with the Sacramento Air Quality Management District to expand the Our Community Car Share Program beginning with a hub at the Colonial Heights Library. Income-qualified residents near the library will be able to reserve an electric vehicle for personal errands at an affordable rate. The goal is to provide mobility options to households without many options as well as to introduce residents to electric vehicles in order to overcome misconceptions about the technology.
EBIKE LENDING PROGRAM
An E-Bike Lending Program will be launched at Colonial Heights Library. Library patrons at least 18 years old with a valid library card will be able to check-out one of 30 electric tricycles with cargo capacity. This lending program will be incorporated into the Sacramento Public Library's existing "Library of Things," which allows for people to borrow one item at a time for up to 2 weeks.
EQUITY MONITORING
There will be an equity analysis on the City of Sacramento’s Electric Vehicle Blueprint Strategy. We would like to hear community input on electric vehicles to create equity metrics and goals. These metrics and goals will be used to evaluate the EV Blueprint projects on key indicators of equity.
