Struggling to increase participation in electrification programs?

Apr 9, 2026

Are your transportation electrification programs delivering the participation needed to meet your goals?

Many utilities have strong programs in place, but participation often depends on identifying the right fleets, charging opportunities, and communities that are ready to move forward. Without that connection, even well-designed programs can fall short of expected engagement.

PARTICIPATION STARTS WITH THE RIGHT OPPORTUNITIES

Increasing participation isn’t just about offering programs—it’s about aligning those programs with real, local opportunities. When the right sites, fleets, and community partners are clearly identified, it becomes much easier to move from interest to action.

Transportation Electrification Plans help bridge that gap by providing a practical roadmap. By working directly with municipalities, these plans:

  • Identify priority charging locations
  • Evaluate fleet electrification opportunities
  • Connect communities with utility programs and incentives

FROM ENGAGEMENT TO PARTICIPATION

In southern Illinois, this approach has already made an impact. Our team has delivered dozens of tailored Transportation Electrification Plans, helping activate local engagement and identify electrification opportunities.

When communities have a clear understanding of what’s possible and how to move forward, participation becomes more consistent—and programs gain the traction needed to succeed.

We’d welcome the opportunity to share how this approach is helping utilities accelerate program deployment.
