Background
-
Increase consumer awareness of State’s clean transportation and related clean energy incentive programs;
-
Provide consumers technical assistance to apply for and participate in CARB clean transportation programs; and
-
Focus on providing coordinated community-based outreach and education to maximize program participation and promote advanced technology vehicle adoption among low-income residents.
Access Clean California coordinates a statewide network of outreach partners (OP Network), providing them with tools and resources to conduct outreach for clean transportation incentives in traditionally underserved communities. By providing a centralized application/education webtool (Benefits Finder) and hands-on case management support, Access Clean California also helps applicants identify and apply for multiple incentives.
The Access Clean California OP Network currently consists of 31 non-profit organizations representing priority populations across the state, ranging from the state’s largest labor union, Service Employees International Union, to small grassroots CBOs. Building this network required, among other efforts, long periods of capacity building and relationship building with each organization to get them to a point where they have the knowledge, resources and capability to conduct outreach. In support of the OP Network, Access Clean California created a Resource Hub to make it easier for outreach partners to access necessary outreach materials. The Resource Hub collects and centralizes the various outreach collateral created by each incentive program, as well as training videos and other education material in a user-friendly and searchable format. Access Clean California also created a platform for outreach partners to regularly convene, share lessons learned and exchange best practices, provide programmatic updates and facilitate communication.
