Clean Mobility

Edgar Arellano-Meli, Micromobility Program Manager at GRID Alternatives Clean Mobility, shared his experience working with Berkeley’s E-Bike Equity Pilot (BEEP).

The Clean Cars for All (CCFA) program will reopen by March 1, 2024, and expand the program to the entire Bay Area. The program will also have programmatic changes that affect income eligibility, retired vehicle model year cap, and award amounts.

Dear Community Partners and Friends, we hope you stay safe, healthy, and happy. We are grateful for your support of GRID North Coast and look
and look forward to continuing to partner with you in 2024!

This year, we witnessed unprecedented federal, state and utility investments in transportation electrification and equity. This means that implementers, the people and agencies responsible for using these funds, are working to ensure that implementation and program design drive substantial, measurable benefits to individuals and families that need them the most. But what does it really mean to go beyond "checking the box" for equity? And how will new investment dollars, allocated to implement equitable clean mobility programs, drive measurable benefits for income-qualified households?
