Technology to Combat Climate Change & Promote Equity

Our team is on track to convert our entire fleet to zero-emissions vehicles by 2035. But now a new digital tool can help us prioritize what vehicles will be converted first and where they will be deployed. Named to Fast Company’s 2022 World Changing Ideas list, the Community Impact Platform is a digital mapping tool that overlays fleet GPS and vehicle information, tracked by individual sensors. with socioeconomic data to model different scenarios of vehicle replacement that can help reduce tail pipe emissions in communities hit hardest by air pollution and climate change.

Watch the video below to learn more about why we built this tool and to see how it works visualizing the carbon emissions associated with each vehicle in our fleet to help us prioritize investments and changes to meet our region’s sustainability and climate equity goals.
