Assuring Equitable Access and Building Technical Capacity for Transportation Decarbonization Among Native Nations
This project has multiple objectives, as follows:
- Eliminate barriers to tribal Zero Emission Vehicle (ZEV) access: Foster community-directed engagement identifying concerns, needs, and opportunities. Facilitate active participation and direction from Native communities, ZEV and utility experts, and our Clean Cities partners.
- Generate greater ZEV awareness: Generate greater awareness broadly at many popular, tribal-sponsored events. Foster awareness at more technical energy and climate events and support tribal participation in green transportation programs.
- Build ZEV technical capacity Support creation of community-directed ZEV transition plans and site-specific TA and workforce training, building tribal and utility capacity for future progress.
- Support long-term pollution reduction by ZEV market expansion: Reduce greenhouse gases (GHG) and air pollution through greater adoption of ZEVs and the infrastructure to support them throughout Indian Country and generally in rural areas.
