On July 24, the Electrification Coalition hosted a webinar about the innovative programs and policies that cities around the United States are implementing to advance transportation electrification in their communities. We were thrilled to be joined by a wonderful panel of local leaders: Simi Barr, senior analyst of municipal operations at the City of Ann Arbor; Wendy Cho Ripp, zero emissions strategist for King County Metro Transit; and Aaron Tauber, sustainable infrastructure strategy manager for the City of Charlotte.
Now more than ever, local action is a crucial driver of transportation electrification. Check out these Electrification Coalition resources that can help you put more electric vehicles on the road:
