The City of Tucson Electric Vehicle Readiness Roadmap was honored by Arizona Forward in the Climate Action Solutions Category of the 2023 Environmental Excellence Awards.

The City of Tucson’s Electric Vehicle (EV) Readiness Roadmap is paving the way to help historically underserved communities access affordable, clean transportation powered by locally-sourced clean, renewable energy. Since adopting the EV Roadmap in April 2021, the City established a Green Fleet Policy, invested in EV charging facilities, established new codes that require EV-ready residential and commercial new developments, and launched an electric bus fleet – the first public transportation system in the state to do so.
