Join us for the upcoming informational webinar: Proposed requirements for the use of zero-emission (ZE) construction equipment on upcoming Fresno early activation projects

In support of its net-zero greenhouse gas emission commitments, the California High-Speed Rail Authority (Authority) is developing requirements for the use of zero-emission (ZE) equipment to construct an accessibility and seismic retrofit of the Fresno Historic Southern Pacific Railroad Depot, the development of a plaza and open space in downtown Fresno, and a landscaped plaza and parking with ZE vehicle charging in Chinatown near the Fresno Historic Depot. The Authority is exploring requiring that all construction equipment used on these projects to be ZE unless the applicant can demonstrate that an exemption is warranted. In this webinar, the Authority will describe the ZE requirements, how they relate to the scope of these downtown Fresno projects, anticipated equipment needs, and ZE equipment availability. Agency representatives will also present details on the applicability of funding and financial incentive programs for ZE equipment and charging infrastructure deployment. The Authority will seek important feedback from construction contractors and other related construction industry stakeholders in a survey following the webinar. The webinar recording will be hosted on the HSR website after the event, and the survey will remain open through March 14th, 2025. Final requirements are scheduled for release in Summer 2025.
