MCOG programs $221,000 for MTA EVs, $281,391 for Fort Bragg charging infrastructure
Summary
The technical advisory committee recommended and the board approved programming $221,000 for two electric vehicles for Mendocino Transit Authority and $281,391 for EV charging infrastructure in Fort Bragg, with the latter contingent on project eligibility.
MCOG approved TAC recommendations to program carbon-reduction funds toward transit electrification and local charging infrastructure. The board agreed to program $221,000 for two electric vehicles for the Mendocino Transit Authority and to allocate $281,391 to the City of Fort Bragg for EV charging infrastructure, contingent on Fort Bragg's ability to use the funds for its design-to-construction needs.
Staff said the funding decision was taken to avoid losing federal/state-allocated funds and pointed to eligible sources including SB 1 and federal bridge investment funding. The motion to program the funds was approved unanimously.
Why it matters: The programmed funds aim to accelerate local transit electrification and charging infrastructure deployment, helping the county meet climate and transportation goals while ensuring federal/state funds are not reallocated elsewhere.
