Project Get Ready

Getting Set: Creating a charter for Your City

Getting ready for plug-ins requires change from a wide variety of interwoven players, from utilities and government to businesses and citizens.

How can a City Become a part of Project Get Ready?

Get ready by forming a coalition of leaders in your community. Get set by creating a charter, with the help of our menu. Go by implementing the goals in your charter.

Rhode Island Gets Ready!

Rhode Island becomes the first Project Get Ready state and Providence the first community in the northeast to pioneer the adoption of efficient, low-carbon vehicles.

With a goal of preparing for and welcoming 10,000 plug-in electric vehicles to Rhode Island by 2015, “PGR RI” is working hard to make purchasing electric vehicles a “one-stop shopping experience” for local drivers. With its high population density and small size, Rhode Island will become the New England proving ground for the electric vehicle.

What is Project Get Ready?

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!
