Electric Mobility Strategy and Action Plan

Help Shape the Future of Electric Mobility in Hamilton

The City of Hamilton is developing an Electric Mobility Strategy and Action Plan to prepare for the growing adoption of electric transportation and help achieve the City's goal of net zero emissions by 2050 or sooner.

Rising popularity of personal electric vehicles, e-mobility and municipal plans for fleet electrifications have created an opportunity for the City to create one inclusive strategy to address this demand and align all existing municipal strategies. The Strategy will identify how the City can support the transition to electric mobility by improving access to electric vehicle (EV) charging, supporting electric micromobility such as e-bikes and e-scooters, and creating policies and programs that make electric transportation more accessible, convenient, and equitable for residents, businesses, and visitors. 

Whether you already drive an EV, are considering purchasing one, ride an e-bike, or simply want to share your perspective, we want to hear from you.
