Background

Clean transportation including zero-emission cars are critical to meeting California’s health-based air quality, climate change, and equity goals. To reach these goals, the state needs to pursue several strategies to support the equitable transition to zero-emission transportation. These strategies include, but are not limited to:

• The Advanced Clean Cars II rulemaking that seeks to establish the next set of pollution standards for passenger cars and zero-emission vehicle production requirements for automakers.
• A suite of incentive programs that include regional and statewide financial incentives for clean cars as well as charging options, and alternatives to car ownership such as car sharing and ride hailing.
• Support a robust recharging and refueling network to support these cars and contribute to California’s green economy.
• Increase workforce development to build a diverse workforce.

Please come and share your experiences and thoughts to help inform the future of the state’s clean transportation goals.
