Fort Lauderdale Net Zero Plan 2025

ROADMAP TO NET ZERO  65

Strategy: Electric Vehicles (EV) Expanding EV infrastructure is essential to reducing emissions because it enables a transition away from fossil fuel-powered vehicles. Investing in EVCS will support cleaner transportation, encourage adoption of EVs, and align the City with sustainability efforts critical to climate resilience. ▪ By 2030, a 31% reduction in community-generated transportation GHG emissions compared to the 2019 baseline involves incentivizing the transition to fuel-efficient or zero-emission vehicles and optimizing routes with advanced scheduling technologies. ▪ By 2040, an 80% reduction from the 2019 community transportation baseline requires the widespread adoption of electric or hybrid vehicles, coupled with infrastructure investments such as EVCS. ▪ By 2050, a 100% reduction from the 2019 community transportation baseline is attained by transitioning fully to renewable energy-powered vehicles, leveraging autonomous and efficient fleet technologies, and ensuring continuous improvement in transit systems and community mobility options. These strategies reduce emissions and enhance quality of life and transportation equity across the community. Specific actions for achieving vehicle electrification aimed at meeting these projections are described below.
