RCAP Implementation Resources

2020

As part of the Southeast Florida Regional Climate Change Compact’s ongoing efforts to build the capacity of practitioners and stakeholders in Southeast Florida to advance regional climate action, the Compact has developed an introductory report on electric vehicles and EV infrastructure. This compilation of resources builds on presentations and discussions from the Compact’s Fall 2019 workshop on electric vehicles and offers additional curated resources and guidance on opportunities for local governments to support the transition to and expansion of electric vehicles. The report outlines useful tools for localities to develop EV-ready communities, install EV infrastructure, and to transition public fleets to electric vehicles, while also providing leading best practices for policy design and regional coordination of EV charging infrastructure.

2018

In the fall of 2018, the Southeast Florida Regional Climate Change Compact (the Compact), in partnership with the Department of Energy’s Southeast Combined Heat and Power Technical Assistance Partnership, convened regional stakeholders—including local government staff, non-profit organizations, utility representatives, and institutional building facility managers—to learn from local and national resilient energy system experts during a two day-long implementation workshop titled Resilient Energy Systems. The convening is part of a workshop series designed to advance the implementation of the Climate Compact’s Regional Climate Action Plan and specifically focused on recommendations from the Energy and Fuel and Risk Reduction and Emergency Management chapters. This guidance report builds upon and supports the content presented at that workshop with the goal of providing local government staff and other stakeholders with a basic grounding in this topic.
