The National EV Charging Initiative's YES WE CAN! event will bring together the key actors at the federal and state levels to share activities, challenges and policy initiatives that are aimed at achieving the environmental, health and financial benefits of transportation electrification. We will look behind the “headlines” to highlight the work that is taking place in States and explore the collaboration needed between policymakers at all levels of government, fleet owners, organized labor, OEMs, energy providers, truck stop operators, electric utilities, and financiers. We will also look ahead to states and regions for further engagement and momentum and how the National EV Charging Initiative can support federal strategies and help strategically support infrastructure development to meet state and federal climate rules and regulations. This is a must attend event!

The U.S. National Blueprint for Transportation Decarbonization (Blueprint) is a landmark strategy for cutting greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from the transportation sector by 2050 led by EPA, DOE, DOT, and HUD. The Blueprint is an opportunity for EPA to utilize a variety of tools in its toolbox while coordinating with key federal partners to tackle these important strategies.
Funding, regulations, research, and industry-government partnerships must all play a critical part if we are to reach our goal of a decarbonized transportation system. However, each of these approaches must fill appropriate roles and be synchronized to have the decarbonizing effects we need while advancing economic and societal interests. This session will focus on EPA's efforts to use these tools as a means address the need to decarbonize the transportation sector and outline opportunities and challenges the agency faces to achieve significant emissions reductions.
