MCE’s Charged by Public Power program is working with the community to expand access to clean transportation solutions — such as EV chargers, carshares, and bike shares — in historically underserved communities.
With help from the Community Electric Transportation Council, local agencies, and community-based organizations throughout Contra Costa, Marin, Napa, and Solano Counties, our Charged By Public Power program is working with our partners to determine transportation needs and design inclusive community outreach plans in these priority communities:

MCE staff used a combination approach to evaluate disadvantaged priority communities. To avoid depending too much on any one dataset, MCE used four different datasets that apply different criteria for assessing “disadvantaged.” These datasets are:
1. The U.S. Department of Energy’s Justice40 Energy Justice tool
2. The White House’s Council on Environmental Quality (CEQ) Climate and Economic Justice Screening Tool (CEJST)
3. California’s Office of Environmental Health Hazard Assessment’s (OEHHA) CalEnviroScreen (CES)
4. The California Air Resource Board’s Priority Population Investments

The program is funded by the U.S. Department of Energy’s Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy (EERE) under the Vehicle Technologies Office (VTO).
