The City of Peoria staff and leadership are committed to evolving to meet the needs of its growing community while searching for innovative and strategic opportunities to optimize its services. Peoria鈥檚 municipal fleet includes a wide range of vehicles to support the City鈥檚 services, including emergency vehicles, public transportation, and public works vehicles. The City also supports a wide range of City-operated light-duty vehicles that provide transportation for Peoria staff to various sites throughout the City.
As electric vehicles gain popularity for their ability to reduce vehicle emissions and minimize long-term maintenance costs, especially with increasing flexibility of charging infrastructure, the City of Peoria is interested in addressing the sustainability of its municipal fleet and is specifically looking to adapt its fleet to include electric vehicles. Considering the existing fleet infrastructure, the City is interested in the associated costs and infrastructure needed to support the adoption of electric fleet vehicles, as well as opportunities for optimized charging locations.
