The City of Houston Office of Sustainability, working together with EVolve Houston, recently issued a Request for Information to gather information on strategies for publicly accessible electric vehicle support equipment and city-owned fleets.
According to a the Mayor's office, the RFI is one of the first steps of the city’s recently launched Climate Action Plan, which identifies the transition to electric vehicles as a priority action to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, improve regional air quality, and build climate resilience.
"Even in these challenging times, sustainability is at the heart of everything we do,” Mayor Sylvester Turner said in the news release. “As outlined in the Climate Action Plan, vehicle electrification can help clean our air and improve our climate resilience. We are looking for partners with innovative solutions to help make electric vehicles more available and affordable for all Houstonians.”
The full RFI can be viewed online. Responses must be submitted by Aug. 7 at 4 p.m.
