Past Award Winners

 

Residents are excited that Parkmerced took the initiative to install the EV infrastructure at the property. Shortly after we installed the stations, we were named "The 2012 Most EV Ready Development in the Bay Area" by the Bay Area Climate Collaborative and the Silicon Valley Leadership Group. This recognition has been used in promotional materials and is a great selling point for future residents, as it embodies our commitment to sustainable living. -Rogelio F. Project Coordinator, Parkmerced Apartments

 

Having won the award twice in two years has given our program credibility with the local jurisdictions as well as the public. As we move forward with our plans there is an extra effort from all parties to make the program work. It has truly been a team effort of County, Cities and interested citizens to get things done. -Dave H. Fleet Manager, Sonoma County
