Evaluate credit generation opportunities within the Low Carbon Fuel Standard (LCFS) program for ZEV/EV fueling and charging stations for the municipal fleet to offset cost of infrastructure development needed to support transition. 

Secure funding from programs such as the California Air Resources Board's Clean Vehicle Rebate Project and the Clean Truck and Bus Voucher Incentive Program to increase procurement of EV or ZEV cars, trucks, and other vehicles and installation of EV/ZEV charging/fueling infrastructure at municipal facilities.

Conduct feasibility and cost assessment to determine the number of EV/ZEV chargers and funds needed to support the fleet transition to 50% EV/ZEV by 2030. Expand EV/ZEV charging infrastructure for city fleet and employees in alignment with feasibility study. 

Establish and adopt Zero-emission Fleet Conversion and Purchase Policy that requires new, and replacement municipal fleet vehicle purchases are EVs or ZEVs. The policy will also include a schedule for replacement of fleet vehicles to meet a 100% carbon neutral fleet by 2040. 

Conduct an inventory of major off-road equipment fleets in Hayward and identify fleets with highest decarbonization potential. 

Conduct a study to assess the technological and economic feasibility of replacing the City-owned offroad equipment fleets.

Partner with BAAQMD to develop a rebate and incentive program for upgrading off-road equipment and switching to biofuels.

Partner with BAAQMD to identify funding opportunities to encourage residents to replace gas-powered landscaping equipment and off-road engines with zero emission equipment.
