Pacific Coast Collaborative
Through the Pacific Coast Collaborative, British Columbia, Washington, Oregon, California, and the cities of Vancouver, Seattle, Portland, San Francisco, Oakland, and Los Angeles are working together to build the low carbon economy of the future. The PCC facilitates collaboration on issues that cross borders and jurisdictional boundaries, such as grid integration, a comprehensive electric vehicle charging network, and responding to ocean acidification. It pools policy and technical expertise, shares strategies to curb greenhouse gas emissions while growing the economy, and works together to implement them. Since a 2014 kick-off meeting, ITS-Davis and the Policy Institute have played an ongoing technical support role to the group and affiliated jurisdictions.
