Project Background

Central Coast EV Plan in the News
Santa Barbara County Association of Governments (SBCAG) is a regional planning agency comprised of Santa Barbara County and all eight incorporated cities within the county.  SBCAG, in connection with sister regional planning agencies San Luis Obispo Council of Governments (SLOCOG) and the Association of Monterey Bay Area Governments (AMBAG), is developing a Central Coast Zero Emission Vehicle Strategy (CCZEVS).

​The strategy will become a resource to accelerate the adoption of zero-emission vehicles (ZEV’s), such as electric and  hydrogen fuel cell vehicles. The CCZEVS will identify gaps and opportunities to implement ZEV infrastructure along California’s Central Coast, including on or near the State Highway System, major freight corridors, and transit hubs. ​

Project Study Area

The project study area is the California Central Coast region of Santa Cruz, San Benito, Monterey, San Luis Obispo, Santa Barbara, and Ventura counties. The study will include improving ZEV access among rural and disadvantaged communities, including Native American Tribal Governments, within the study area.
​
The project has an estimated completion date of May 2023.
