<strong>PEV</strong> <strong>Readiness</strong> <strong>Self</strong>-<strong>Assessment</strong> <strong>Tool</strong><br />
<strong>Overview</strong><br />
Nick Nigro and Charles Zhu<br />
Workshop II: Executive Workshops on Strategies and Best<br />
Practices for State Departments of Transportation to Support<br />
Commercialization of Electric Vehicles and Infrastructure
Presentation <strong>Overview</strong><br />
• The challenge for DOTS regarding <strong>PEV</strong>s<br />
• Lots of <strong>PEV</strong>-related activity<br />
• DOTs need to better understand their roles, responsibilities, and<br />
opportunities to take action<br />
• The answer: <strong>PEV</strong> <strong>Readiness</strong> <strong>Self</strong>-<strong>Assessment</strong> <strong>Tool</strong><br />
• Uses framework that incorporates interaction of 3 components of public<br />
sector work: public value, operational capabilities, and legitimacy and<br />
support<br />
• Identifies “archetype” that summarizes the nature of a DOT’s actions and<br />
relationships regarding <strong>PEV</strong>s<br />
• Provides custom feedback based on user-provided input, including<br />
possible actions<br />

Public Value<br />
• Air quality<br />
• Jobs in auto and<br />
related industries<br />
• Energy security,<br />
independence, and<br />
ensuing economic<br />
benefits<br />
• Greenhouse gas<br />
(GHG) emission<br />
reductions<br />
• Being proactive<br />
about the future role<br />
of electrification<br />
Legitimacy and<br />
Support<br />
• Executive and<br />
legislative support<br />
and awareness of<br />
<strong>PEV</strong> benefits<br />
• Consumer and<br />
commercial interest<br />
• Presence of <strong>PEV</strong><br />
collaborative and<br />
interagency groups<br />
• Interest from local<br />
governments and<br />
municipalities<br />
Operational<br />
Capabilities<br />
• DOT-wide support<br />
and champions<br />
• Opportunity for <strong>PEV</strong>related<br />
policies<br />
through existing<br />
policies and historical<br />
precedents<br />
• Empowerment to do<br />
<strong>PEV</strong>-related work<br />
• Networking and<br />
building the case for<br />
external stakeholders<br />

<strong>Assessment</strong> Questions<br />
• <strong>Assessment</strong> Questions<br />
• Ask the most detailed questions (e.g. specific actions and policies)<br />
• Form the backbone of the readiness construct<br />
• Example <strong>Assessment</strong> Question under Climate Emissions<br />
Factor in the Public Value Proposition Module<br />
How would you characterize efforts to reduce GHG emissions in<br />
your state?<br />
No interest: No interest in reducing GHG emissions<br />
Limited: Exploring emissions reductions but no proactive<br />
attempts<br />
Medium: Emissions reduction target across various sectors<br />
of the economy, including the transportation sector<br />
Strong: Bill or executive order mandating emissions<br />
reductions, including reductions in transportation<br />
<strong>PEV</strong> <strong>Readiness</strong> <strong>Self</strong>-<strong>Assessment</strong> <strong>Tool</strong> <strong>Overview</strong> June 25, 2012
<strong>Assessment</strong> Questions<br />
• <strong>Assessment</strong> questions lead to direct outputs:<br />
No interest: No interest in<br />
reducing climate emissions<br />
Limited: Exploring emissions<br />
reductions but no proactive<br />
attempts<br />
Medium: Emissions reduction<br />
target across various sectors of<br />
the economy, including the<br />
transportation sector<br />
Strong: Bill or executive order<br />
mandating emissions<br />
reductions, including reductions<br />
in transportation<br />
• You selected “Limited” recognition of<br />
reducing GHG emissions as part of<br />
the <strong>PEV</strong> public value proposition.<br />
• Your DOT can strengthen the public<br />
value proposition of GHG emissions<br />
reductions by conducting and<br />
publicizing a cost-benefit analysis on<br />
GHG emission mitigation in<br />
transportation.<br />
• Your DOT can advise the executive<br />
or provide advice to legislatures<br />
regarding GHG emission reductions.<br />
• Relevant data (e.g. contribution of<br />
transportation to state GHG<br />
emissions)<br />

Factor Summary Questions<br />
• Factor Summary Question<br />
• Summarizes all previous assessment questions in a section<br />
• Enables a straightforward way to complete an assessment without<br />
weighing the value of potentially over 50 assessment questions<br />
• Allows for user to account for actions that were not assessed in the factor<br />
by the existing questions<br />
• Example Summary Question<br />
Based on your answers above and on your own knowledge, do <strong>PEV</strong>s<br />
present a strong public value proposition for mitigating GHG emissions?<br />
• None<br />
• Limited<br />
• Medium<br />

Next Steps<br />
• Will be built through summer and all of 2012<br />
• Must decide on user interface (e.g. Excel workbook)<br />
• Methodology to be completed:<br />
• Default weighting for various Factor Summary questions within a module<br />
• Finalize archetype definitions and the general “narratives” behind each<br />
archetype<br />
• Complete mapping of <strong>Assessment</strong> Questions to custom output<br />
