Performance Measurement and Metrics
This subcommittee seeks to use data and performance measures to drive program development and decision making. The subcommittee subscribes to the basic idea that “We cannot fix what we cannot measure.” The initial work is addressing emissions valuations, key performance measures (KPIs), and ESG (environmental, social and governance) criteria. With an overall objective of identifying and sharing best practices for IBTTA members, the subcommittee will be working to assist members in identifying and knowing the business carbon footprint, sources, and impacts. By understanding the baseline (starting point) and establishing an emissions reduction goal, organizations can adopt a roadmap towards a carbon-neutral future.
Vehicle Electrification and Alternative Fuels
This subcommittee focuses on electric vehicle (EV) adoption and charging infrastructure deployment, as well as the adoption of other low emission alternative fuels, such as hydrogen, propane, and compressed natural gas. Initial efforts aim to increase IBTTA members’ understanding and awareness of the impacts and opportunities of vehicle electrification and alternative fuels through business cases and benefit-cost analyses. The subcommittee will identify guidance and best practices in project prioritization and selection, project development, partnership opportunities and engagement, and risk analysis and management strategies. The efforts are intended to help the toll operators make wise investments and create customer value.
Policy and Engagement Subcommittee
This subcommittee supports the overall work of the Task Force through programs that advance sustainability and resilience education and information exchange. The initial work plan includes establishing a strong presence on the ibtta.org website, creating a library of policies, documents, and resources, and developing a program of events and content at IBTTA meetings to maintain focus and momentum on climate action and resiliency for the IBTTA community. This subcommittee will also help members navigate through sustainability and resilience legislation and regulations and identify opportunities and access to grants and other resources. This subcommittee will identify potential partnership opportunities for members with relevant vendors, service providers, and technical experts to support solid business approaches and service delivery.
