Electric Transportation Transition Study

The Joint Transportation Committee (Committee) must study opportunities for high-consumption fuel users (users) to adopt electric vehicles (EVs) and make recommendations to the Committees and governor by July 1, 2023. The Committee must investigate and determine the following:

• Number of users that could utilize EVs for a high percentage of their driving needs;
• Fuel savings and gallons of fuel displaced if users switch to EVs;
• User attitudes and perceptions of EVs; and,
• Policies and messages that encourage EV adoption.
