YEAR 2 LESSONS LEARNED The Year 2 Lessons Learned repository, shown in Appendix E, details significant findings, recommendations and new insights realized during Years 1 and 2 of the project, and will be amended annually to reflect new findings. The application of the Lessons Learned by the City of Columbus can potentially increase the effectiveness of the Paul G. Allen Philanthropies’ (PGAPh) future capital investments and provide support for EV adoption in cities worldwide. Smart Columbus is using the Lessons Learned tool to identity both successes and/or shortcomings, and detail the resulting possible impacts and next steps. The list details the lesson learned, resulting action, potential impact, and the pertinent references by Priority/Initiative.
A few key lessons learned in Year 2 include:
x Broaden the eligible applicants for the Transportation Service Provider (TSP) Rebate Program beyond traditional taxi companies to include drivers for Transportation Network Companies (TNCs).
x Significant GHG reduction in commuter travel can be achieved by decreasing the amount of Single Occupant Vehicle (SOV) commutes in Columbus. Currently, 83% of the regional population commutes alone. Smart Columbus found that there is a limited supply of alternative and multi-modal transportation options for Columbus residents to travel alternatively to work.
x OEMs have varying approaches and beliefs on how to best market, educate and sell EVs. This manifests itself in their approach to dealer training (i.e. some brands intentionally avoid all conversation about charging, while others embrace it and ensure it is talked about with every customer).
x There is little to no interest from executives to participate in an overnight test drive experience.
x Relying heavily on external funding sources for public charging means KPIs and project schedules are entirely controlled by the funding source.
x Even with the advantages of adding charging infrastructure to projects already programmed for construction, charging installation is still subject to the main project’s construction schedule and delays.
x Incentive programs can, and will (unintentionally or not), compete against one another if the programs are not coordinated and presented in partnership. Smart Columbus’ MUD charging program showed a temporary drop-off in applicants due to the timing/offering of the AEP EV Charging Incentive Program.
x Modifications to existing electrical equipment should be pre-approved by the manufacturer before making any changes to the equipment. Modifying equipment without prior approval leads to a much longer inspection process in order to get UL approval.
x Safety can play a major role in EVSE code and policy development. The draft City of Columbus Fire Code includes a section for EVSE installations. Fires involving EV batteries can take up to 2-4 times as much water to put out, so in the event of a vehicle fire, the Division of Fire needs to be able to quickly and safely de-energize the adjacent charging stations without having to search for a power disconnect.
x Even with the level of planning for this grant program, determining staff demands and making adjustments can take significant amounts of time and effort. Employee attrition, unexpected (but necessary) employee absences and lengthy hiring processes have a noticeable impact on the program.
x Having a clear understanding of available primary grant funds, as well as partner contributions and government funding opportunities within the program timeline, is critical to developing a program plan.
For more details on these and other lessons, see Appendix E – Year 2 Lessons Learned.

standard operating procedures in the Playbook. x Release an RFP for a second autonomous shuttle route. x Present Navigant research to the electrification team and task Program Managers with executing
additional evaluation mechanisms proposed in the Evaluation Plan. x Monitor performance of the Consumer Education Campaign and optimize against performance data. x Advance the preferred EV charging station public art idea(s) from the Columbus College of Art &
Design (CCAD) pitches. x Deploy co-branded decals for AEP chargers. x Integrate Qualtrics survey software into the Ride & Drive Roadshow work flow for 2019, and execute
programmatic changes to the program that were identified in the 2018 reflection process. x Discontinue the extended test drive program area due to limited demand. x Announce the second round of Accelerator Partners. x Rebuild the Smart Columbus website in a new content management system (CMS). x Continue to work with KIA to increase the inventory of the Niro PHEV in the market. x Add six more Electrified Dealers and create the process to assess the success of the overall Electrified
Dealer Program. x Begin conversations with added OEMs and dealers on conducting a group purchase program. x AEP Ohio will continue to process applications for their EV Charging Station Incentive Program. x Perform site visits as Multi-Unit Dwellings (MUDs) complete installations and activate charging stations. x Continue to review and award any additional MUD applicants. x Launch and collect data on the AEP Ohio residential EV charging pilot. x Review proposals and award the Public Access Charging Pilot Project RFP. x Develop a comprehensive workplace charging policy for City of Columbus employees. x Complete the design and construction of the city’s planned 29 Level 2 charging ports. x Develop a fleet and charging handbook for city pool vehicles that charge at multiple locations. x Continue to schedule and create content for the Playbook based off of lessons learned. x Work with Atlas Data to create impact reports and visualizations for the Playbook in 2019. x Attend and speak at CES and the Transportation Research Board (TRB) Annual Meeting in January. x Re-evaluate national media relations approach and goals, based on the 2019 budget.

QUARTER IN REVIEW This section will give an overview on items that happened during Q7 for each of the five project priorities, program management, priority implementation and coordination items.
PRIORITY OVERVIEW Progress during Q7 is detailed below for the following priorities: Decarbonization; Fleet Electric Vehicle Adoption; Transit, Autonomous and Multi-Modal Systems in the City; Consumer Electric Vehicle Adoption; and Charging Infrastructure.
Key Highlights: x On October 29th, Bloomberg Philanthropies
announced Columbus as a winning city in the Bloomberg American Cities Climate Challenge, a $70 million dollar program that will accelerate 20 ambitious cities’ efforts to tackle climate change and promote a sustainable future for residents. Through the Climate Challenge, Columbus is accepted into a two-year acceleration program and will be provided powerful new resources and access to cutting-edge support to help meet or beat the city’s near-term carbon reduction goals.
x Columbus plans to use this support for a number of new and existing initiatives and will work with Bloomberg Philanthropies to achieve the following actions by 2020:
o Deploy a workforce development program for energy efficiency auditors and increase the number of homes audited with a focus on the City neighborhoods with the highest rates of energy poverty;
o Accelerate existing and add new financing programs for energy efficiency and renewables for commercial buildings;
o Roll out a multi-modal trip planning app to drive behavioral insights and engagement strategies to encourage mode share; and
o Launch a communications campaign to increase ridership on newly expanded high-frequency transit lines.
“The wellbeing and prosperity of our community is inextricably linked to
solving the climate crisis. This presents a great opportunity to our
generation to innovate. Columbus is no stranger to innovation. By being
named a winning city by Bloomberg, we will be able to boldly move forward with existing and new programs to cut
city emissions through sustainable construction and mobility initiatives.”
– Mayor Andrew J. Ginther

Initiative 2.2 – Private Fleets Key Highlights:
x 192 private fleet EVs have been committed, with 25 private EVs purchased to date.
x Capabilities Inc., Cardinal Health, ViaQuest and Grange Insurance fleet vehicles launched telematics monitoring for fleet assessment. The purpose is to track vehicles – location, speed, engine load, RPM – to project which EVs would be the best fit for replacement.
x Twenty-five baseline fleet assessments have been completed to date, including the following:
o Denison University o Columbus Zoo and Aquarium o The Columbus Dispatch o Land Grant Brewing Company o Yellow Cab of Columbus o Alliance Data o OhioHealth o MedSpeed o VAT Transportation o AAA Ohio o Cardinal Health o Capabilities Inc. o ViaQuest
o Battelle o Mill Creek Insurance o Litech Lighting o Installed Building Products o WBNS 10 TV o Bexley Beat o Goodwill Columbus o Motorists Insurance Group o Weekley Electric o Palmetto Construction Service o Columbus NEP o Vertiv
An additional 15 fleets are currently in the process of collecting data for fleet assessments. Many of these have historically collected little-to-zero data on vehicle operation, which has caused delays in data collection and assessment. Smart Columbus has given extra attention to these fleets to educate them about the necessary data required for informed fleet transition decisions, which is beginning to help these fleets with their fleet electrification process. See Appendix F for an example of a fleet assessment report.
x Example EV Telematics Study: For those fleets requiring a more in-depth analysis of operation and or economic fit with EV technology, a telematics analysis is offered. Below is an example of a one-for- one replacement of a 2015 Nissan Rogue with a 2018 Nissan LEAF: 15,095 miles/year.
Next Steps:
x Finalize procurements for current fleet commitments.
x Maximize outreach with other membership-based organizations, such as chambers of commerce.

ards objectives, but do not contribute directly to higher level indicators. M
ethods and data sources for estimating indicators and tracking progress tow
ards targets are described in the Perform
ance Measurem
ent Plan.
The ‘Adjusted Targets’ spreadsheet outlines the current goals that have been established by the project working groups for each indicator. The
‘Progress’ spreadsheet reports the actual progress of each indicator toward the established targets. The ‘Progress_Y1_P4’ spreadsheet reports
the progress specifically for Year 1 P
riority 4 Indicators. This has been separated out due to Priority 4 future program
development changes
having been included in the main ‘Progress Tab’.
The ‘Progress’ spreadsheet includes highlighted cells to help clarify how the spreadsheet functions. C
ells that are yellow are direct inputs. C
ells that are orange are calculations that are either sum
ming values or converting values to a com
mon unit. C
ells that are green are calculations that are converting the appropriate values into M
TeCO
2 used to calculate overall GH
G em
ission reductions.
Timelines for indicators that are contingent upon P
UC
O approval w
ill be adjusted as approval is received.
