Status of Implementation
Although challenged by electrical capacity constraints and limited internal charging infrastructure, the Sacramento County Department of Airports (SCDA) is taking steps towards fleet electrification. In 2024, SCDA staff drafted an Airport Fleet Transition Plan, which provides a roadmap and cost estimation for the transition of the Department's vehicle fleet to zero emission vehicles.
To date, the SCDA has added 18 electric passenger shuttle buses, three electric transit vans, and one electric pickup truck to the fleet. With these vehicles, the fleet is approximately 8% converted to zero emission vehicles. An electric box truck is also on order and is expected to be delivered sometime in 2025.
In late 2024, to gather information on where fleet vehicles are parked for periods of time long enough to charge, the fleet section began installing telematics in the fleet vehicles. Information gained from the telematics will help guide future charging infrastructure planning.
