Town Hall: Local Perspectives on the USDOT Blueprint For Transportation Decarbonization
Topics: 2024 Conference, Equity, Federal Funding, Climate Resilience, Policy
Find a good seat for a Town Hall with USDOT and other industry leaders focused on the Blueprint for Transportation Decarbonization. Speakers will take questions about discretionary grant programs and discuss the federal role in accelerating decarbonization outcomes, addressing equity disparities and providing incentives for carbon-friendly growth. Hear on-the-ground insights from state and local climate advocates and coalitions as well as audience members who represent the perspectives of future federal climate grant applicants. The floor will be open for you to share your experiences, too.
Program note: This Town Hall is a follow-up to the Tuesday morning session, Land Use for Climate Action, but also stands on its own.
