Greater Kansas City Plug-In Readiness Strategy
MARC and the Metropolitan Energy Center have been working with a wide range of public and private organizations to develop a regional plan to get consumers, businesses and local governments ready for plug-in vehicles.
In January 2010, MARC and the Metropolitan Energy Center's Kansas City Regional Clean Cities Coalition joined Project Get Ready through the Rocky Mountain Institute, which is helping communities prepare for plug-in vehicles — including full-battery electric, plug-in hybrid electric and converted hybrid or internal combustion vehicles.
The Greater Kansas City Plug-In Initiative Task Force set up six stakeholder groups working under a steering committee to address all aspects of plug-in preparedness — charging infrastructure, government policy, vehicle availability, fleet demand, retail demand and incentives. Dozens of local governments, academic institutions, businesses, utilities, labor unions and other organizations volunteered to evaluate Project Get Ready's menu of actions against the local landscape to determine how best to use resources to form a plug-in vehicle ecosystem in the metro.
The task force recently completed the Greater Kansas City Plug-in Readiness Strategy, an action plan that proposes strategies and outcomes in each priority area, identifies who would undertake them, and suggests a feasible timeline.
