According to the Department of Ecology, transportation contributes nearly 40% of the state’s total greenhouse gas emissions. This was a major factor in the Governor’s Executive Order 21-04, which directs state agencies to transition 100% of their light-duty fleet to electric vehicles (EVs) by 2035 and 100% of their medium- and heavy-duty fleets to EVs by 2040. This study and the resulting EV Fleet Transition Plan was framed to answer the question: can WDFW meet those goals? According to available data, WDFW has almost 1,500 vehicles. Roughly half (737) of the vehicles are leased from the Department of Enterprise Services (DES). The balance (732) of the vehicles are owned by WDFW. More than half of the fleet (784 vehicles) fall into the category of 1/2-ton pickup trucks. The vehicles owned by WDFW include most of the medium- and heavy-duty vehicles, vehicles with extensive modifications, which includes most of the vehicles used by the Enforcement program. As a result, the EV Fleet Transition Plan identifies two phases for implementation: Phase 1—now to 2030—focus on light-duty cars, SUVs, and 1/2-ton pickups leased from DES. Phase 2—2030-2040—transition the Enforcement fleet and all medium- and heavy-duty vehicles. To support the agency staff tasked with this transition, the project team developed a dynamic, editable Excel-based EV Transition Tool to facilitate data management, planning, and decision-making throughout these transition phases.
