Its work includes leading a hydrogen fuel cell vehicle pilot using Toyota Mirai vehicles, providing zero-emission cars and prepaid hydrogen fuel to low-income residents to replace high-polluting vehicles, while demonstrating real-world emissions and cost benefits. Valley CAN also serves as a trusted community partner to utilities, supporting PG&Es Low Carbon Fuel Standard programs and Southern California Edisons Clean Energy Access and workforce initiatives through equity-focused outreach, incentive awareness, and stakeholder engagement. In partnership with the Gateway Cities Council of Governments, Valley CAN has further delivered EV charging readiness and workforce development programs, training electricians, coordinating contractors, and creating scalable tools that remove infrastructure barriers, strengthen the clean energy workforce, and support long-term transportation electrification goals.
