Initiative 2.2 – Private Fleets

Key Highlights:

145 private fleet EVs have been committed, with 25

private EVs purchased to date.

OhioHealth and MedSpeed 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.

Seven baseline fleet assessments have been

completed to date, including the following: Denison

University, Columbus Zoo and Aquarium, The

Columbus Dispatch, Land Grant Brewing Company,

Yellow Cab of Columbus, Alliance Data, OhioHealth,

VAT Transportation, AAA Ohio, Cardinal Health and

Capabilities Inc. An additional 23 fleets are currently

in the process of collecting data for fleet assessment.

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.

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:

Convert fleet commitments to procurement to reach procurement goal for end of Year 2.

Deploy additional telematics assessment for select fleets to determine best fit models for operation.

Initiative 2.3 – Transportation Service Providers (TSPs)

Key Highlights:

In July, the Smart Columbus team worked with

Transportation Service Providers (TSPs) to award

Yellow Cab of Columbus the $30,000 first round of

the TSP Rebate Program, signing the agreement

with owner and CEO Morgan Kauffman.

o Yellow Cab of Columbus worked with Smart

Columbus to finalize a purchase order for 20

Chevy Bolt EVs by Q7.

Eight DC Solar units with 16 charging points are in operation at the Yellow Cab of Columbus

headquarters.

In September, Yellow Cab of Columbus displayed its new Chevy Bolt taxis at the Midwest Green

Fleet Forum and Expo conference. Several of the company’s staff also attended training sessions at

the conference.

Throughout Q6, the Smart Columbus team finalized Round 2 of the Smart Columbus TSP Rebate

Program. Round 2 is designed to offer rebates to both traditional taxi service providers and drivers for

Transportation Network Companies (TNCs), such as Uber and Lyft, to spur TSP EV adoption

throughout central Ohio.

o Round 2 of the rebate program is currently in final review. It is expected to be voted on by the Columbus

City Council and publicly released in Q7.

The Central Ohio Regional Transit Authority (COTA) continued its plans to electrify one of its major

bus routes, with an expected purchase of up to 10 dedicated electric buses to serve the route during

the performance period of this grant.


21

Next Steps:

Continue to gather survey data from regional TSPs.

Continue to work with key regional TSPs, including Yellow Cab of Columbus, COTA and the Mid-Ohio

Regional Planning Commission’s (MORPC) ride share program to further EV purchase commitments

and deployment of vehicles and charging.

Implement available TSP vehicle rebate programs to further catalyze deployment of EVs in additional

TSP fleets throughout the seven-county central Ohio region.

Continue to work with public agencies to get EV commitments.

Provide continued EV Technician Training.

Strategy 2.3.1 – Recruit TSP Partners

Key Highlights:

Smart Columbus provided information on the first round of the TSP Rebate Program (available only

to traditional taxi service providers) to Yellow Cab of Columbus and all traditional taxi owners

registered with the City of Columbus.

The Smart Columbus team continued outreach efforts to traditional taxi service providers and TNCs

(i.e. Uber, Lyft, etc.). The Smart Columbus team interfaced with the city’s Vehicle for Hire Board

about Round 1 of the TSP Rebate Program and will be working with them on outreach for Round 2.

Next Steps:

Finalize TSP Rebate Program eligibility for Round 2.

PRIORITY 3 – TRANSIT, AUTONOMOUS AND MULTI-MODAL SYSTEMS IN THE CITY

6 Connected Electric Autonomous Vehicles (CEAVs)

Key Highlights:

In July, The Ohio Department of Transportation’s

DriveOhio initiative, in partnership with Smart

Columbus and OSU, announced the issuance of a

request for proposals to identify a technology

partner that will deploy, operate and maintain a

low-speed, self-driving, “autonomous” shuttle

service around the Scioto Mile in downtown

Columbus. In September, Smart Columbus

announced that May Mobility will operate low-

speed, self-driving shuttles that will begin driving

passengers around the Scioto Mile loop.

In July, Smart Columbus released the first in a

series of a systems engineering document, known

as a Concept of Operations, for the Connected

Vehicle Environment pilot. The Concept of

Operations conveys a high-level view of the

system to be implemented from the viewpoint of

multiple stakeholders including deployment area

residents in Linden neighborhood, COTA and the

City of Columbus DPS. The document is the

culmination of months of research and end-user

engagement and serves to frame the overall

system, sets the technical course for the project,

and serves as a bridge between early project motivations and the technical requirements.

Next Steps:

Testing for the autonomous shuttle service is intended to start in October 2018 and deployment is

anticipated in December 2018, with continuation of service into 2019.


23

Electric Bikes

Key Highlights:

In August, Smart Columbus placed the six e-bikes procured

through the Electrification Program into operation with the

Columbus Police Department. The e-bikes’ pedal-assist

electric motor enables officers to travel more quickly—up to

28 miles per hour—and arrive at calls while conserving

energy for their work. Mayor Andrew Ginther celebrated the

deployment of the e-bikes by participating in a story with

10TV, the local CBS affiliate, on the e-bikes. The story may

be viewed at: https://www.10tv.com/article/smart-columbus-

services and installation of charging infrastructure for up to 300 Level 2 charging stations and 75 DC

Fast charging stations. The $10 million program offers rebates for site owners to install charging

stations, with 10 percent of the stations to be located in low-income areas.

The program helps participants by offsetting a

portion of their charging equipment and

installation costs. Maximum amounts vary based

on the type of station, the type of owner and the

public’s ability to access the station. Local

governments installing publicly-available charging

stations may be able to do so with no cost after

participating in the program.

Local governments, businesses and apartment complex owners interested in providing EV charging

are encouraged to apply for the program. Applicants must be commercial or industrial customers in

the AEP Ohio service territory. Complete program details and application materials are available

at www.aepohio.com/evcharge.

The EV charging program and microgrid projects are funded by the Smart City Rider, a new charge

that will end in four years. These programs will provide AEP Ohio, the PUCO and others with

information that will inform the expansion of these technologies throughout the state. To date, 25

applications for the AEP Ohio EV Charging Station Incentive Program have been received,

representing 80 total Level 2 ports at workplace, public and multi-family charging sites. AEP Ohio

side, in order to have a wider impact through their

membership bases.

Mapping of tiered priority charging locations was

included in this outreach for both public and private

entities whose physical site locations lined up with data

from the National Renewable Energy Laboratory

(NREL) public charging siting study.

Outreach to individual public entities about the available rebate incentives included the cities of

Dublin, Delaware, Whitehall and Grove City.

Smart Columbus reviewed potential charging sites for the CCAD public art project and identified

key constraints in branding, policy and engineering.

Due to aesthetics and downtown streetscape standards, members of the Smart Columbus charging

work group worked with AEP, DOP and DPS in order to consider the use of a commercial pedestal

enclosure instead of an exposed frame for the electrical equipment for the EV chargers to be

installed as part of the pilot project RFP at Mound and Fulton streets.

Next Steps:

Awaiting appendix finalization, the City of Columbus plans to release the Public Access Charging

Request for Bid (RFB) in Q7.

drafting code language for an EV parking policy.

Compiled various EV readiness and ‘right to charge’ policies from municipalities, consultants and

stakeholders to gain an understanding of current policies, best practices and their impact on EV

adoption. Using these resources, Smart Columbus began developing policy options for the City of

Columbus to support sustainable city wide EV infrastructure development.

Next Steps:

Finish draft policies for EV readiness and ‘right to charge’ laws and submit them to Building &

Zoning Services to draft the code language.

Begin outreach to the Columbus development community for opportunities for feedback and

recommendations on how EV charging policies can be best developed to benefit all stakeholders

involved.

Decide how to best apply recent fire code changes for EV charging to upcoming projects.

APPENDICES Included below are key components of the appendix for updates that happened during Q6. All other appendices are included as supplemental

documents. Please refer to the SharePoint site for these files. The documents are labeled according to their appendix number.

APPENDIX A – QUARTERLY INDICATORS AND METRIC TARGETS The Quarterly Indicators and Metric Targets spreadsheet is used as a way to track actual indicator progress against the established

targets/goals for each priority of the project on a quarterly basis. The indicators are provided at the Project, Priority and Initiative level.

Performance indicators are addressed at three levels:

1. The overall project level;

2. The five project priorities (grid decarbonization; fleet EV adoption; transit, autonomous and multi-modal systems in the city; consumer

EV adoption; and EV charging infrastructure); and

3. The specific initiatives under each priority area.

The project, priority and initiative indicators are hierarchical. Priority indicators contribute directly to a project indicator, and similarly, initiative

indicators contribute directly to one of their respective priority indicators. Progress indicators are also defined. Progress indicators encompass

anything that can be numerically evaluated and reflect progress towards objectives, but do not contribute directly to higher level indicators.

Methods and data sources for estimating indicators and tracking progress towards targets are described in the Performance Measurement 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 Priority 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. Cells that are yellow are direct inputs. Cells

that are orange are calculations that are either summing values or converting values to a common unit. Cells that are green are calculations that

are converting the appropriate values into MTeCO2 used to calculate overall GHG emission reductions.

Timelines for indicators that are contingent upon PUCO approval will be adjusted as approval is received.

See the attached Appendix A – SCC-P7-Quarterly Indicators and Metric Targets-Q6.xlsx for more detail.


72

Below are some clarifications for the targets and progress KPIs:

Targets

The values in the cells highlighted yellow are still being developed as part of the Year 3 plan.

The values in the cells highlighted pink are using Year 1 forecasted values for the Life of Project (LOP) total instead of Year 1 goal totals.

Progress

The MWh of Columbus Division of Power Green Power sold (row 26) was updated for Q5 from an estimated value to actual. As a result,

the Columbus DOP Green Power sold as a percent of Total Power sold (row 37) was also updated.

The total number of ‘other government fleet vehicles’ for Q5 was reduced by two, as two of the purchase orders were delayed due to

bureaucratic reasons.

GHG reductions for EVs in Priority 2 and Priority 4 were updated to show the quarterly reductions in GHGs as cumulative, since it is

assumed that the EVs purchased in prior quarters of the grant period are still in operation and still contributing to a reduction in the region’s

emissions.

As part of Priority 3, the bike infrastructure lane miles (row 104) have been updated from what was shown in previous quarters to be

consistent with how the Electrification Plan defines the metric – including bike lanes, sharrows and shared-use paths.

The consumer ‘Estimated equivalent number of EVs purchased’ (row 109) was changed from an estimated to an actual (135 EVs changed

to 134 EVs).

The estimated number of social media followers that was previously reported for Q5 has increased with actuals (row 120).

The ‘Total Number (cumulative) of Companies with Mobility Ambassadors Identified’ (row 136) that was previously reported for Q5 has

decreased from 38 to 34 with actuals.

APPENDIX C – RISK AND POLICY REGISTER Risk is an uncertain event or condition that, if it occurs, has a positive (opportunity) or negative (threat) effect on a project’s objectives. The Risk

Register is used to identify, rate, rank and mitigate risks prior to the start of a project. It assists the team by focusing attention on higher ranking

items requiring more analysis and mitigation strategies. The Risk Register is a living document to be updated on a periodic basis and reviewed

during the Monthly Project Review meeting. See the Q6 Risk and Policy Register.xlsx spreadsheet in addition to the snapshots included.

Risk Terminology

DEFINITION EXAMPLES

Risk: An uncertain event or condition that, if it occurs, has a positive or

negative effect on one or more project objectives.1

Risk Acceptance: A risk response strategy whereby the project team decides

to acknowledge the risk and not take any action unless the risk occurs. 1

A potential change is design standards; reacting when and if it is

incorporated into the project objectives.

Risk Avoidance: A risk response strategy whereby the project team acts to

eliminate the threat or protect the project from the risk impact. 1

Usually involves change the project plan to eliminate the threat entirely.

Could include extending the schedule; reducing scope, changing the

strategy or approach. 1

Risk Mitigation: A risk response whereby the project team acts to reduce the

probability of occurrence or impact of a risk. 1

Taking early actions such as conducting workshops, partnering, draft

reviews, and other pre-emptive or non-conventional activities to lower the

likelihood of occurrence

Risk Transference: A risk response strategy whereby the project team shifts

the impact of a threat to a third party, together with the ownership of the

response. 1

When a Contractor has capabilities that the A/E does not possess,

transferring scope and responsibility contractually to the Contractor.

Risk Exploitation: A (opportunity) risk response strategy whereby the project

team seeks to eliminate the uncertainty associated with an upside risk by

ensuring the opportunity definitely happens. 1

Assigning an organization’s most talented resources to reduce the time to

completion or using new technologies or technology upgrades to reduce

cost and duration required to realize project objectives. 1

Risk Sharing: A (opportunity) risk response strategy whereby the project

team seek allocate some or all of the ownership of the opportunity to a third

party who is best able to capture the opportunity for the benefit of the project. 1

Forming risk sharing partnerships, teams, special-purpose companies, or

joint ventures, which can be established with the express purpose of

taking advantage of the opportunity so that all parties gain from their

actions. 1

Risk Enhancement: A (opportunity) risk response strategy whereby the

project team seeks to increase the probability and/or the positive impacts of an

opportunity. 1

Adding more resources to an activity to finish early. 1
