PRESS RELEASE

The Yolo County Sustainability Division invites community members to help shape the future of clean transportation through a new interactive online map and survey focused on zero-emission vehicles (ZEVs) and shared mobility options. The effort is part of the County’s Zero-Emission Vehicle Action Plan, which aims to expand equitable access to electric vehicles, charging infrastructure, e-bikes, carshare, and other sustainable transportation choices. Community members can access the survey and map at dks-engage.com/yolo-zev.

 “We want to make sure that everyone in Yolo County has a voice in how we build a cleaner, more connected transportation system,” said Kristen Wraithwall, Sustainability Manager for Yolo County. “This survey is an important opportunity for community members to tell us what they need and where future investments are needed most.” 

Residents are encouraged to share feedback on where they would like to see new EV charging stations, e-bike or e-scooter rentals, carshare, and other clean mobility options. Survey responses and map contributions will help inform future programs, infrastructure, and outreach efforts to ensure that all Yolo County communities benefit from the state’s transition to clean transportation. Participants who complete the survey will have the opportunity to be entered into a prize drawing for a gift card. The survey will remain open through January 31, 2026, and is available in English, Spanish, and Russian.

The Yolo County Zero-Emission Vehicle Action Plan is a countywide initiative designed to accelerate clean transportation adoption through community-driven planning and equitable access. The plan emphasizes partnerships with local organizations and residents to ensure that investments reflect community priorities. It supports the County’s goal of achieving carbon negativity by 2030, while improving air quality, mobility, and neighborhood resilience.

The public will also have an opportunity to learn more and provide input in person at the Winters Salmon Festival on Saturday, November 1, at the Rotary Park in downtown Winters. The County will host an outreach booth featuring information on EV programs, micromobility, and the interactive map.
