About the Transportation Electrification Partnership
The Transportation Electrification Partnership (TEP) is an unprecedented multi-year public-private partnership of more than 25 members committed to accelerating transportation electrification and zero emissions goods movement throughout the Los Angeles region in advance of the 2028 Olympic and Paralympic Games by pursuing bold targets, pilots, initiatives, and policies that are equity-driven, create quality jobs, and grow the economy.
The Partnership was established by LACI in May 2018 with a principal goal of reducing GHGs and air pollution by an additional 25 percent beyond existing commitments set for 2028. To achieve this goal, the partnership has identified a clear pathway of concrete targets:
We set bold targets that were seen as crazy in 2018, yet they were key to demonstrating bold commitments to reduce our pollution in a region that is known for cars, dirty air, and being an entry point for 40% of the nation's goods. Since then, the Partnership has been a model for going further faster together. Given that Los Angeles is California and the country’s largest auto market, our targets serve as a glide path to achieving the state’s 100% EV sales goal by 2035 and President Biden’s 50% EV sales goal by 2030.
While we celebrate the significant progress that has been made, we know we have much further to go to accelerate equitable climate action before the world arrives in the Los Angeles region for the 2028 Olympic and Paralympic Games–and the next two years will be critical to securing funding, deploying innovative projects, and passing policies to support transformative action in line with TEP’s goals..
Position Summary:
The Director, Transportation Electrification is responsible day-to-day for managing TEP to ensure steady progress towards the goals and targets set forth in the Zero Emission 2028 Roadmap. This includes, but is not limited to: leading strategic goal setting for the partnership, securing new corporate and public sector partners, leading grant-writing to advance TEP initiatives, planning and executing regular meetings and convenings of the Partnership, engaging partners in a variety of initiatives, and crafting and shaping related policies. The Director of Transportation Electrification reports to the SVP Market Transformation and coordinates closely with the CEO on TEP strategy; the Director participates in LACI’s Management Team.
