Dear Commission:

We are writing to express support for Pacific Power’s proposed Transportation Electrification Pilot Programs, filed December 27, 2016. These initial efforts represent a significant opportunity for Oregon to embrace a cleaner, more sustainable future through electric transportation.

Pacific Power’s suite of proposed pilot programs are thoughtfully designed to tackle major barriers to transportation electrification in its 233 Oregon communities. These programs were developed in collaboration with a wide array of stakeholders and are designed to create a multitude of local benefits such as:

• Supporting Cities’ sustainability and transportation goals; • Improving local air quality and reducing local greenhouse gas emissions; • Educating community members about this innovative technology and how it can save

money and protect the environment; • Increasing access to charging infrastructure across the state; • Bringing investment to underserved Oregon communities

We are enthusiastic to partner with Pacific Power in driving adoption of electric transportation in our communities and hope that you will approve the pilot programs as proposed.

Thank you for your consideration.

Sincerely,

Sharon Konopa

Mayor of Albany, Oregon

April 7, 2017 Public Utility Commission of Oregon 201 High Street, S.E. P.O. Box 1088 Salem, OR 97308-1088 Dear Commissioners:

We are writing to express our support for Pacific Power’s proposed Transportation Electrification Pilot Programs, filed December 27, 2016. These initial efforts represent a significant opportunity for Oregon to embrace a cleaner, more sustainable future through electric transportation.

Portland’s Climate Action Plan directs the City to reduce carbon emissions 40 percent by 2030 and 80 percent by 2050. As the transportation sector accounts for nearly 40 percent of local carbon emissions, shifting from gasoline and diesel to electricity is a key strategy to achieving Portland’s climate action goals. To accelerate the transition to electric vehicles, publicly available charging infrastructure must be increased and accessible to all, including low-income populations and communities of color. We believe Pacific Power’s pilot programs will make significant strides in that direction.

Pacific Power’s proposed pilot programs are thoughtfully designed to tackle major barriers to transportation electrification. These programs were developed in collaboration with a wide array of stakeholders and are designed to create a multitude of local benefits such as:

Supporting Cities’ sustainability and transportation goals. Improving local air quality and reducing local greenhouse gas emissions. Educating community members about how electric vehicles can save money and protect

the environment. Increasing access to public charging infrastructure across the state. Bringing benefits of electric vehicles to underserved communities.

We are enthusiastic to partner with Pacific Power in accelerating the adoption of electric transportation in Portland and hope that you will approve pilot programs to accelerate EV infrastructure.

Sincerely,

Susan Anderson Director

Dear Commission Members,

I am writing to express support for Pacific Power’s proposed Transportation Electrification Pilot Programs, filed December 27, 2016.

I am an active member of the Douglas County Smart Energy (organization), and specifically working on the planning and installation of electric vehicle charging stations in our City of Roseburg, OR. I authored the grant proposal for the Volkswagen “Electrify America” project to install DC Fast Charging stations in our city, and worked with others to develop our county-wide Strategy for charging stations. More public fast charging stations are needed locally.

I have worked with our local city manager, who is a strong proponent of electrical energy reduction, renewable energy and electric vehicle charging station installations.

My small business is retail sales of electric assist bicycles. These (above mentioned) items support local projects to reduce energy consumption which will improve the climate sustainability and reduce the energy cost of transportation / mobility.

These initial efforts represent a significant opportunity for Oregon to embrace a cleaner, more sustainable future through electric transportation.

Pacific Power’s proposed pilot programs seem thoughtfully designed to tackle major barriers to transportation electrification in its 233 Oregon communities. These programs were developed in collaboration with a wide array of stakeholders and are designed to create a multitude of local benefits such as:

• Supporting Cities’ sustainability and transportation goals; • Improving local air quality and reducing local greenhouse gas emissions; • Educating community members about this innovative technology and how it can save

money and protect the environment; • Increasing access to charging infrastructure across the state; • Bringing investment to underserved Oregon communities

I am enthusiastic to partner with Pacific Power in driving adoption of electric transportation in our communities and hope that you will approve the pilot programs as proposed.

Thank you.

RE: Pacific Power Transportation Electrification Proposals

Oregon Public Utility Commission,

Rogue Valley Clean Cities Coalition (RVCCC) , an organization operating under the authority of the

U.S. Department of Energy, is pleased to provide comment to PacifiCorp's proposed transportation

programs.

It is RVCCC's position that, although the proposals have yet to provide detailed ratepayer impact

information, these transportation proposals are wholly consistent with our organization's mission statement

to decrease dependency on imported petroleum and to advance strategies that promote clean air and water in

the Rogue Valley via alternative fuels.

We recognize the potential for their proposals to promote and educate the public on the value of alternative

fuels. RVCCC's vision is to enhance the livability of the Rogue Valley by building and bridging

relationships with those interested in sustainable energy strategies.

Rogue Valley Clean Cities Coalition submits this letter of support for the proposed Pacific Power

Transportation Electrification programs for Oregon customers.

Respectfully submitted,

Rogue Valley Clean Cities Coalition

Michael A. Montero, Board Chair
