Portland, Oregon is bringing together citizens, government officials, big automakers, and more to get ready at the Regional Innovation Forum in March
Project Get Ready is a non-profit initiative led by Rocky Mountain Institute, in conjunction with a wide array of partners and technical advisers. Project Get Ready will:
* Create a dynamic “menu” of strategic plug-in readiness actions including the “business case” for each action.
* Provide a web database of American and international plug-in readiness activities.
* Convene at least 20 cities as well as technical players regularly to discuss their lessons learned and best practices, and report these conversations on our website and materials.
* Much more!
Getting ready for plug-ins requires change from a wide variety of interwoven players, from utilities and government to businesses and citizens. Our menu provides a foundation for these groups to create a city charter.
This menu contains:
* Top 15 actions that a city must take to be ready, organized by primary actor
* 10 second-tier actions that a city could take to be ready
* Financial assessment of each action where possible
