Input Needed from Richmond Area Employers

Please complete this brief survey from the Bay Area Air Quality Management District if you have not already done so. The survey is targeted to all Bay Area employers. Your survey response will help them learn what types of tools and resources would help employers, who are interested in plug-in electric vehicle (PEV) deployment, to successfully provide PEV infrastructure for their customers, employees and fleets. Read more details about the survey below. We greatly appreciate your assistance in helping them gather this data.

On June 27, 2012, the Bay Area Air Quality Management District (Air District) issued the Employer Plug-In Electric Vehicle Readiness Survey to Bay Area and Monterey Bay workplaces to assess plug-in electric vehicle (PEV) readiness.  Due to multiple requests, the Air District has extended the survey deadline to Friday, August 24th.  If you wish to participate, please forward this survey to the appropriate person in your organization to complete (i.e. operations, facilities, or fleet manager).  Your survey response will help us learn what types of tools and resources would help employers, who are interested in PEV deployment, to successfully provide PEV infrastructure for their employees and fleets.

This survey represents the first step in a multistage planning process that is being conducted between March and November 2012, to develop plans that will enable the region to 1) identify the future sites and locations for PEV charging infrastructure, 2) update building codes, zoning and parking rules, and ordinances in local jurisdictions to make them PEV ready, 3) accelerate the adoption of PEV in both public and private fleets, and 4) increase the PEV infrastructure and vehicle manufacturing.

The survey itself takes approximately 5 – 15 minutes to complete. We greatly appreciate your attention and request your response to this survey by Friday, August 24, 2012.
