Zero Emissions Mobility and Community Pilot Project Fund - Startup and Technology Partners Application
Thank you for your interest in the Zero Emissions Mobility and Community Pilot Project Fund.
As part of the ongoing work of the Transportation Electrification Partnership, LACI is awarding over $300,000 to deploy new technologies for zero emissions transport in disadvantaged communities (CalEnviroScreen 3.0) in Los Angeles County. Total funding available for technology deployment (including hardware, software, permits, signage, etc.) is $100,000, which is anticipated to be distributed among more than one technology provider. Startups and corporations are encouraged to apply.
Applications are due by June 20, 2019.
LACI has identified an interest in funding deployments of the following technologies:
- Real-Time data reliability for enabling multi-modal travel
- Charging infrastructure for multi-unit dwellings
- Flexible urban street curb management and pricing
- Low cost, high visibility mobility hubs for first/last mile transportation
- Microcars and transit pods for use cases and customer segments where e-scooters and e-bikes are not ideal
- Zero emissions last mile urban goods delivery (e.g., e-cargo bikes and electric vans)
- Highly visible EV charging infrastructure (digital and physical) to build public awareness
LACI is excited to evaluate proposals from technology providers so long as they fit within the scope of zero emissions mobility in disadvantaged communities.
