Drive Forward Tribal Listening Session: On Feb. 17, via remote access, CARB will host a listening session focused on the Drive Forward Initiative, which is the next phase of policies to support clean transportation. During this listening session, CARB staff will hold a discussion about CARB’s Drive Forward initiative, clean transportation incentives, with particular attention paid to hearing from California tribes regarding clean transportation needs, concerns, and questions. In 2011, Governor Brown signed Executive Order B-10-11, directing State agencies and departments, including CARB, to engage in effective government-to-government cooperation, collaboration, communication, and consultation with both federally recognized and non-federally recognized tribes when developing legislation, regulations, rules, and policies on matters that may affect tribal entities. All interested California tribes, tribal representatives, tribal-serving organizations, and interested parties are invited to attend.
