Strategic Incentives Division (SID)

The Strategic Incentives Division (SID) is a lead department for reducing air pollution from mobile sources like cars, trucks, buses, locomotives, and marine vessels. SID is also a contributor to reducing emissions from unregulated or underregulated sources like off-road engines and supporting the addition of multimodal transportation infrastructure like bikeways. The core of SID’s work is incentivizing technology users to scrap older, dirtier equipment and replace it with newer, lower-polluting or zero-emission equipment. Increasingly, we are doing this with an emphasis on improving environmental justice in the Bay Area.

The Strategic Incentives Division Intern will support outreach to technology users in environmental justice communities, help identify and strengthen communication channels with the twin goals of increasing trust between the Air District and technology users in historically underserved communities and boosting the application rate for clean air incentives. The intern will work closely with the supervisor to develop an outreach and data analysis plan and to implement the plan to estimate the size of potential technology adoption in the community. Throughout this process, the intern will have the opportunity to contribute to ideation and evaluations of strategies to overcome barriers to technology adoption — such as cost, access, awareness, and usability – and help to form more inclusive, effective programs that advance environmental and public health goals across the Bay Area.
 
Examples of Duties (Illustrative only): 

• Support outreach and engagement efforts with clean technology users in environmental justice communities, including coordination, documentation, and follow-up.
• Compile, clean, and analyze outreach and participation data to estimate technology adoption and user populations in environmental justice communities.
