Students seeking an MS degree in Urban Policy Analysis and Management are required to take "Laboratory in Issue Analysis".
This course is an applied policy-analysis experience in which students work together in teams of four or five to resolve a policy issue for a public or nonprofit decision-maker, in this case, a report issued to Councilwoman Gale Brewer.

80. In 2009 Obama awarded $2.4 billion for EV's and battery manufacturing Bannon's decision to locate their operation in Syracuse could result in an initial investment of approximately $40 million into the Upstate New York economy, with the potential to reach $50 to $75 million over the next five years.
81. A majority of New Yorkers still commute at least partially by car
83. EV’s are an integral part of future Smart Grid plans

$25 to $180 billion annually. These costs could soar if outages or disturbances become more frequent or longer in duration.
NYC’s Greenhouse Gas (GHG) Emissions Are Predominantly From Transportation and Electricity
Improving the nations grid efficiency by 5% is equivalent to take 53 million cars off the road (source:USDOE)Con Edison has recieved $181 million in stimulus funds for regional Smart Grid developmentThe “information economy” requires a reliable, secure, and affordable electric system to grow and prosper. Unless substantial amounts of capital are invested over the next several decades in new generation, transmission, and distribution facilities, service quality will degrade and costs will go up.Information technologies (IT) have already revolutionized telecommunications, banking, and certain manufacturing industries. Similarly, the electric power system represents an enormous market for the application of IT to automate various functions such as meter reading, billing, transmission and distribution operations, outage restoration, pricing, and status reporting.
Grid 2030 is a fully automated power delivery network that monitors and controls every customer and node, ensuring a two-way flow of electricity and information between the power plant and the appliance, and all points in between. Its distributed intelligence, coupled with broadband communications and automated control systems, enables real-time market transactions and seamless interfaces among people, buildings, industrial plants, generation facilities, and the electric network.A national electricity “backbone” à Regional interconnections, whichinclude Canada and Mexicoà Local distribution, mini- and micro- grids providing services to customers and obtaining services from generation resources anywhere on the continent

Electric Vehicle (EV) Charging Infrastructure Promotion - Bay Area9 point plan to simply regulations standards and permittingMayors of San Francisco, San Jose, and Oakland will follow a policy plan to develop and expand the infrastructure needed to promote the use of EVs. Policy steps include: expediting the permit and installation processes for charging outlets; providing incentives for employers and other organizations who install charging infrastructure at the workplace and other parking facilities; developing standard regulations governing EV infrastructure across the region; and establishing programs to purchase EVs for use by city and state employees. The mayors will work with other cities in the Bay Area as well as regional government organizations and private sector partners.Electric Vehicle (EV) Charging RequirementsNew EVs and plug-in hybrid electric vehicles (PHEVs) must be equipped with a conductive charger inlet port that meets the specifications contained in Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE) standard J1772. EVs and PHEVs must be equipped with an on-board charger with a minimum output of 3.3 kilovolt amps. These requirements do not apply to EVs and PHEVs that are only capable of Level 1 charging, a charging method that allows a vehicle to be charged by having its charger connected to the most common grounded receptacle. (Reference California Code of Regulations Title 13, Section 1962.2)
