Committee recommends Palo Alto adopt eMobility strategic roadmap with redlines to emphasize last‑mile, multifamily and transit charging
Summary
The Climate Action and Sustainability Committee voted to recommend the City Council accept an expanded eMobility strategic roadmap that broadens the plan beyond cars to cover e‑bikes, scooters, shared vehicles and integration with transit and grid planning.
The Climate Action and Sustainability Committee voted to recommend that City Council accept a new eMobility strategic roadmap that expands traditional electric‑vehicle planning to a broader set of electric modes — including e‑bikes, scooters, shared micro‑mobility and discussions of heavy‑duty and transit charging — and that the committee’s redline suggestions be incorporated.
Staff presentation and purpose
Brad Eggleston, director of public works, and Jonathan Abenschein, assistant director for climate action, presented the roadmap. Eggleston said the document evolved from an EV strategic plan into an "eMobility" roadmap to reflect a wider set of modes. Jonathan described the roadmap as a guide intended to align multiple work plans across city teams rather than a separate, stand‑alone work plan.
