Description
Numerous studies have shown that we can only meet our climate goals if we rapidly electrify transportation and dramatically reduce our reliance on single passenger automobiles. All too often, however, advocates and communities treat these complementary strategies as opposing alternatives. This session will focus on promising initiatives that bring communities together to integrate transportation electrification and multimodal transportation in compact communities.
