Our mission is to advance San Francisco’s environment, energy security, and economic prosperity through collaboration with communities by building partnerships with public and private stakeholders to create equitable deployment of clean transportation solutions for all.

Electric Vehicle-ready community implementation

In 2022, the San Francisco Environment Department (SFE) in partnership with San Francisco Clean Cities and Communities Coalition (SFCCC) accepted a $2.4 million grant from the California Energy Commission (CEC) to implement the following four projects from San Francisco’s EV Ready Community Blueprint. 

SFCCC in partnership with SFE led a pilot program to transition delivery drivers to electric bikes (e-bikes). San Francisco-based delivery workers and small businesses were given e-bikes to use for their deliveries.  The program assessed how e-bikes can make deliveries safer and faster, and if they helped delivery workers earn more money.

SFE established the City’s first EV Ombudsperson, a new role that serves as a central point of contact for EV charging service providers, developers, and the public. The mission of the EV Ombudsperson is to boost public awareness of EV benefits, remove institutional barriers to developing public charger installations, and identify new sites and hosts for more public chargers.

For questions or support, reach out to our EV Ombudsperson at [email protected].

On July 9, 2025, the first electric vehicle (EV) fast chargers opened in the Bayview-Hunters Point community at Bayview Plaza, 3801 3rd Street! Six new high-power fast charging stalls are now publicly available 24/7 to Bayview residents and visitors. 

This project was delivered by the San Francisco Environment Department (SFE) in partnership with EVgo, En2Action, and Strategies 360, and was funded in part by the California Energy Commission and Bay Area Air District.

Clean transportation ordinances

In recent years, SSFCCC along with SFE, have advocated for and passed several clean transportation ordinances. These include:

Requires commercial parking lots and garages with over 100 parking spaces to install electric vehicle (EV) charging stations in at least 10% of the parking spaces. 

Requires commercial parking garages and lots with more than 100 parking spaces to install EV charging equipment. 

Advances the City's commitment to reducing greenhouse gas emissions from light-duty vehicles while improving EV charging infrastructure at municipal facilities. For full ordinance texts and additional resources, visit the San Francisco Clean Transportation Policies page.

Medium-and heavy-duty (MD/HD) zero-emission vehicle blueprint

In February 2025, SFCCC in partnership with SFE developed a citywide MD/HD Zero-Emission Vehicle (ZEV) Blueprint. The Blueprint guides the creation of an affordable and convenient charging network for 10,000 MD/HD ZEVs by 2030. The Blueprint focuses on MD/HD ZEV adoption for all fleets, large and small, ensuring none are left behind.

  • 2,000 medium- and heavy-duty commercial vehicles registered in San Francisco 
  • 1/3 of incoming commuter vehicles  

By 2030 EVs will be

  • 100 percent of new passenger vehicle registrations with no increase in total vehicle registrations per household  
  • 100 percent of emerging mobility vehicle miles traveled  
  • 10,000 medium- and heavy-duty commercial vehicles registered

Coalition history

As part of the U.S. Department of Energy's (DOE) Vehicle Technologies Office (VTO), Clean Cities and Communities coalitions work locally to advance affordable, domestic transportation fuels, energy efficient mobility systems, and other fuel-saving technologies and practices. More than 75 active coalitions serve as the foundation of Clean Cities and Communities. 

The SF Clean Cities Coalition (SFCCC) was established in 1994 and is housed within the San Francisco Environment Department. The Coalition has a 29-year history of spearheading clean transportation initiatives within the City and County of San Francisco. San Francisco ranks among the top cities in the United States when it comes to electric vehicle (EV) adoption and emission reduction policies. 

SFCCC has led several significant projects including the Electric Vehicle Ready Community Blueprint, an implementation plan that identifies best practices and steps to achieve a 100 percent greenhouse gas-free transportation sector by 2040.
