Green DOT was subcontracted by CALSTART to assist in the development of a competitive Caltrans Sustainable Communities grant for the City of Clovis Transit Fleet Electrification Feasibility Study. The Study intends to assess existing electric-vehicle infrastructure plans and suggest improvements necessary to electrify Clovis Transit’s Stageline Transit Service buses and Round-Up Transit Service Dial-A-Ride vehicles. The resulting plan will guide Clovis toward implementing a zero-emission public transportation network. Currently, Clovis Transit has 30 buses, 9 vans, and 1 trolley. The City anticipates a new transit fleet of 60 buses, 9 vans, and 1 trolley. The Transit Fleet Electrification Feasibility Study will align with the Fresno Council of Governments Regional Transportation Plan / Sustainable Communities Strategy as well as statewide emissions reduction requirements including California Air Resources Board Proposed Innovative Clean Transit Regulation, Assembly Bill 32, Senate Bill 32, Senate Bill 375, and Senate Bill 1434. The City of Clovis was awarded a Sustainable Communities Grant award in the requested amount of $161,500.

Project Description
Green DOT Transportation Solutions prepared the 2016 Del Norte Regional Transportation Plan (RTP). As part of the outreach effort for the 2016 RTP, Green DOT helped develop a map-based digital tool for residents to leave feedback directly related to the area of concern using the Commonplace platform.
Since the initial development and promotion of the Commonplace tool in 2016, the tool has been leveraged for other planning projects, including the 2017 Pebble Beach Drive Improvement Project and Elk Valley Cross Road Corridor Plan. Commonplace has proven to be an invaluable tool, and several hundred community contributions have been made on the platform since it went live. This web-based tool provides the opportunity for community members to become involved in local matters who may not have the time or ability to attend traditional community meetings.
8The Rural Counties Task Force commissioned a report to explore and define the most effective way for rural and small urban entities of measuring performance of transportation projects. Green DOT played a key role on the team selected to prepare this study. The project team has vetted applicable performance measures for inclusion in the development of the 2016 STIP Guidelines. The final report was completed in September 2015 and assists rural and small urban areas in developing projects and justifying the most effective transportation investments in their locale. These identified performance measures will help the local agencies within Siskiyou County as well as the regional agency to determine which projects are the highest priority and support those with empirical data.
Green DOT Transportation Solutions was contracted by Siskiyou County Local Transportation Commission (SCLTC) to provide contracted Executive Director services. Green DOT owner and principal planner Jeff Schwein currently acts as the SCLTC Executive Director with support from Green DOT staff. Major duties for the Executive Director include developing and implementing the Overall Work Program (OWP), drafting LTC agendas and coordinating monthly LTC meetings, coordinating other LTC functions, representing the SCLTC and attending meetings with other agencies and entities, providing fiscal services and auditing, tracking and administering various transportation funds, providing project development assistance to Siskiyou County public works and local agencies, grant-writing, and fulfilling the general planning duties associated with a regional transportation planning agency.
Green DOT Transportation Solutions serves as the Transportation Program Manager and staff to the Alpine County Local Transportation Commission. The Transportation Manager provides services to both the Community Development Department and the Alpine County Local Transportation Commission (ACLTC). Under this contract, Green DOT Transportation Solutions provides daily administrative tasks for the ACLTC and Community Development Department, as well as project development and project-specific services. Administrative duties include coordinating with Caltrans, the County, and the Commission; developing ACLTC meeting agendas and presenting at Commission meetings; development of the Overall Work Program (OWP); and program management. Project specific services include preparation of the 2020 Alpine County Regional Transportation Plan update and development and delivery of several major roadway and bridge projects in the region.
Green DOT worked with the Tehama County Transportation Commission (TCTC) to develop an Active Transportation Plan for the County. Tehama County adopted the Active Transportation Plan in June 2019. The Plan compiled the active transportation needs in the County and prioritized projects based on community needs and wants and feasibility. The Plan prepares Tehama County and the incorporated cities of Red Bluff, Corning and Tehama for future funding opportunities. Green DOT created a database of the existing infrastructure in the County and identified gaps in the sidewalk, bicycle route and trails network. Green DOT assisted the TCTC in a public outreach campaign to solicit feedback from the community identifying where project needs were.
