Agencies around Marin are adding electric vehicles to their fleet and installing or upgrading electric vehicle charging equipment. TAM provides rebates to public agencies to support installation of EV charging infrastructure and replacement of fleet vehicles with clean fuel vehicles.
The Transportation Authority of Marin is here to assist agencies add more electric vehicles including plug-in hybrids to their fleet and installing the right level of charging equipment. By taking advantage of resources and incentives, agencies can simplify the process and save thousands of dollars along the way.
Looking towards the future
TAM is continually working to identify private, regional, state and federal grant opportunities to enable Marin County’s cities, towns and agencies to maximize installation of publicly accessible EV charging stations.
TAM supports the transition from fossil-fuel-based transportation to more sustainable alternate fuel vehicles. Switching to alternative fuel vehicles such as electric vehicles reduces harmful air pollution levels in our community and decreases greenhouse gas emissions.

Overview
Plug-in electric vehicles and emerging alternative fuels are promising technologies for reducing pollution and helping the region achieve emission reduction targets. As zero-emission and hybrid cars become more popular, and renewable diesel becomes more widely available, we expect increasing adoption of next-generation alternatively fueled vehicles, including electric vehicles (EVs). To help support this trend, TAM has an Electric Vehicle/Alt Fuel Advisory Working Group, and sponsors or co-sponsors Drive Electric educational test drive events throughout the county. We also support two EV programs for public agencies.
TAM has set up a great resource page for all of your agency EV needs.
