Plan will deliver more sustainable transportation
through equitable EV investments
DALLAS, Aug. 9, 2022
/PRNewswire/ -- Jacobs (NYSE: J) helped the Nevada Department
of Transportation (NDOT) develop the state's electric vehicle (EV)
infrastructure deployment plan.
The plan, which Jacobs will also help implement, will make NDOT
eligible to receive federal funding for projects to enhance
Nevada's EV charging
infrastructure and networks, transforming the state's alternative
fuel landscape.
Jacobs and its analytics subsidiary, StreetLight, used the
company's big-data-powered software solutions to find optimal
locations for charging infrastructure and will continue to use
these EV analytics to support the deployment plan and funding
requests. The team is also overlaying demographics to support
NDOT's public outreach and stakeholder engagement, promoting
equitable distribution of funds, meeting current Justice40
requirements and fulfilling the needs of Nevada and its national
network.
"Our goal was to develop a collaborative, informed and flexible
plan to help the state of Nevada
deliver more sustainable transportation options to its citizens,
and we have accomplished this initial phase," said Jacobs People
& Places Solutions Americas Senior Vice President and General
Manager Ron Williams. "Through our
market-leading technical expertise and innovative software
solutions, we provided NDOT insights to effectively plan and take
advantage of historic funding opportunities at a time when
sustainable and socially conscious infrastructure solutions are
more important than ever."
"Jacobs has embraced the goals and vision that the Nevada
Department of Transportation (NDOT) had for the development of the
National Electric Vehicle Infrastructure (NEVI) Plan," said NDOT
Division Chief of NV2X Planning Kandee Bahr Worley. "In addition to
the ability to incorporate StreetLight's technology, which combines
data from mobile phones, connected vehicles, IoT sensors, and
geospatial databases, Jacobs was able to provide a unique
opportunity to identify Nevada's
needs. Planning and investment in infrastructure will be addressed
using a more modern, informed data analytical approach. As a result
of this process, we can build a resilient network as well as plan
for future needs and ensure equitable access."
The federal Joint Office of Energy and Transportation directed
state governments to develop and submit their EV infrastructure
deployment plans by August 1, 2022 to
be eligible to receive federal funding through the IIJA, and the
Jacobs team helped Nevada meet
that ambitious deadline.
