Recommendation
64. Reduce the environmental impacts of road infrastructure use and achieve a higher uptake rate of low and zero emissions vehicles by implementing further measures that support the State Electric Vehicle Strategy for WA, including:
- setting a more ambitious target for the WA Government light vehicle fleet uptake
- accelerating the transition or conversion of other state government vehicles to low and zero emissions technologies, including specialised fleets of public transport buses and emergency services vehicles
- expanding the rollout of charging infrastructure on government land and buildings, including at train station car parks
- supporting the private sector to provide charging infrastructure, including in the Perth CBD through the Perth Parking Management Act 1999 and through planning system policy reforms.
