Transportation solutions to improve air quality will vary with local transportation requirements. Many of the community dial-a-ride, transit agencies, and school districts provide transportation options that demonstrate a need for what is known as last-mile transit. Kern Council of Governments and other San Joaquin Valley Regional Planning Agencies funded a study conducted by the UC Davis Institute of Transportation Studies on rural last-mile transit. This study led to the development of MioCar. MioCar is a member-based electric carshare program and provides transportation options for people living in and near low-income housing in the Kern County communities of Wasco and Arvin/Lamont. Effective transportation solutions require programs such as MioCar to expand to new disadvantaged communities. Workforce development offers opportunities to individuals interested in the energy or transportation fields. The transition to zero emission fuels will require individuals trained to work on cars, design and install stations, provide maintenance to cars and stations, operating vehicles takes some training and then there is always planning for the future, and autonomous vehicles. Kern County partners require support in their areas of expertise and their efforts to serve the communities. This project will provide the funding needed to support these efforts for zero emission transportation to serve local communities. Goals of the Agreement: The goal of this Agreement is to advance electrified transportation in and between Kern County communities in ways that provide convenient, safe, and clean transportation for a broad spectrum of residents. Objectives of the Agreement: The objectives of the PRIME Agreement between Kern COG and the California Energy Commission are for Kern COG to administer an effective and timely program to install electric vehicle charging equipment, to expand MioCar electric carsharing to new communities, and allow Bakersfield College to expand their curriculum and install equipment for hands-on training. The public and private site hosts and communities will have an impact on EV adoption beyond their immediate locations and support electrified transportation options. Bakersfield College will be established as a leader in training the technicians of today for both the technology of today and the future. -----�Objactiv.es_o1-ttle..
