Still thinking about the USDOT Transportation and Climate Symposium we held this month. Here's some select photos from the Innovation for Decarbonization Tech Showcase we hosted. Across the country, great minds are working to advance the critical innovations and technologies we need to reduce greenhouse gas emissions from the transportation sector. I'm now (even more) energized by the potential for technologies to help our nation tackle the climate crisis.
