Sustainable Transportation

Fleet Electrification

To reduce transportation emissions, the adopted Climate Action Plan (CAP) outlines two key strategies:

  • Goal 1: Reduce per capita vehicle miles traveled 30% by 2035 and 50% by 2050.
  • Goal 2: Increase EV adoption with 100% light-duty adoption by 2050, 60% medium-duty adoption by 2050, and 40% heavy-duty adoption by 2050. 

In response to these goals, the City commissioned MAKERS architecture and urban design and McKinstry to develop a Fleet Electrification Study.

  • Fleet Electrification Study (2024)
  • The goals of this study were to:
    • Review existing electrification context.
    • Assess system-wide fleet, small tool, charging, and backup power needs.
    • Develop electrification approach and identify cost to reduce emissions.
    • Create an investment strategy to meet electrification commitments.
    • Research electric vehicle adoption and public charging trends
  • This study’s findings outline recommended investments in electric service and charging infrastructure to pursue carbon reductions offered by electrification.

Commute Trip Reduction and Transportation Demand Management

Emissions from transportation make up almost 18% of total emissions in the City of Sammamish, the majority of which come from passenger vehicles. The City is focused on reducing emissions from passenger vehicles, reimagining mobility within the City, and planning for the future.

  • Flexible transportation and ridesharing
  • Teleworking
    • The City of Sammamish supports teleworking and allows directors to implement such arrangements when appropriate under the City’s Teleworking Policy.
