Jan 29, 2026

JFO presentation notes EV purchase-and-use fee proceeds currently flow to ACCD; FY27 budget proposes language to permit T Fund monies to route to ACCD for EV charging stations rather than routing through the transportation agency first, a policy and statutory choice the committee must decide.
