🔋 Reaching our ambitious 2028 goals won't be easy, but thanks to the leadership of our unprecedented public-private Transportation Electrification Partnership, we are moving forward on our bold regional targets and celebrating statewide milestones along the way. And just this week the State of California reached a major milestone: the number of EVs sold in CA has hit 2 million. This marks a shared commitment by millions of Californians toward a clean air future powered by EVs. It is also a major step in the right direction as we work toward our TEP goals--like ensuring 80% of light duty private vehicle sales are EVs by the time of the 2028 Olympic and Paralympic Games. To keep this momentum going, we need US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to grant California's clean vehicle waivers now! 🔗 https://lnkd.in/g4hV2NJU

"No matter where we come from or the color of our skin, most of us want to stay connected with loved ones, be healthy, and make a better future for our families. We want strong and vibrant communities that benefit and prosper from bringing together people from different places, of different races, and with different backgrounds. To be a place of freedom for all, this country must invest in clean, abundant transportation choices and prioritize convenience and efficiency in land use planning. In cities, suburbs, and rural areas, investing in transit, walking, rolling, and biking can help unlock this freedom, especially for the 30 percent of people in the United States who do not drive." Check out this comprehensive and inspiring new report from the Union of Concerned Scientists on how we build a transportation system that reduces emissions, connects communities, improves public health, lessens demands on the energy grid, and saves everyone money!

Creating a safer world is a pressing need that resonates with all of us. Engineering solutions play a pivotal role in addressing our environmental challenges. From developing sustainable infrastructure to innovating clean energy technologies, there’s so much we can do together. Consider taking the initiative to learn about eco-friendly materials in your projects, or advocating for renewable energy in your community. Small changes in our daily choices can lead to significant impacts. By prioritizing safety and sustainability, we not only protect our planet but also improve the quality of life for future generations. Let's engage in conversations that drive these changes and collaborate to share effective strategies. What steps are you taking to foster a safer and greener environment? Share your tips and experiences. Together, we can make a difference! https://lnkd.in/euWTce59

Canada and the US working together makes more sense than inflicting economic damage on each other. Our economies are strongly linked, and have been for decades. This alliance needs to be reinforced and expanded, not eroded. Well done, Stephen Lecce and Doug Ford. Ontario’s Clean Energy Advantage can help power both economies to a clean, successful and secure future. Let’s stop the rhetoric and get on with the work. https://lnkd.in/gi7PtyZw Association of Power Producers of Ontario (APPrO)

Here is our current assessment of the Industry status with the transition to EVs. We will follow up with an assessment on how to move forward with the transition in this environment.

Let's re-think #SharedPublicSpace is the 2024 theme of the EUROPEAN MOBILITY WEEK (16-22 September) As several UPPER measures are public space-oriented https://lnkd.in/dyycJ4kf we staunchly encourage all our 'Living Labs' to participate and take action to implement long-lasting public space measures and make them accessible and safe for all, regardless of age, ethnicity, gender, ability, identity or socio-economic status. We stay true to our Mobility as a right concept #MAAR Accessibility + Inclusiveness= Freedom ❤️ For more info https://lnkd.in/dtWZqTYh CIVITAS Initiative CINEA - European Climate, Infrastructure and Environment Executive Agency Rosalinde van der Vlies Juan Antonio Caballero Medina NetZeroCitiesEU Eurocities POLIS Network EIT Urban Mobility #PublicSpace and #PublicTransport are two sides of the same coin 🏅

Here at Forth Roadmap in Detroit, where thought leaders from across the nation and around the world gather with industry players to strategize on the advancement of equitable electric transportation.

Detroit is so much more than cars and trucks and factories. It offers advantages in numerous other high-tech industries and is the place to be to design, launch, and scale just about anything. Here are three industries Detroit does not get enough credit for, despite serving as a national leader in each sector. 1. Research, Engineer, and Design (RED):Detroit Is the First and Only UNESCO City of Design in the Nation 2.Digital Technology: Detroit Is the Top Location for the Fastest Growing Startups 3. Financial Services: Detroit Has Banking Talent and the Top Mortgage Lenders

Thanks Meghan Mitman, AICP, RSP2I for the summary insights!

An article that is worth reading. A lesson to learn when we are humble and assume that reality is as it is and not as we want it to be. A few pearls from the article: << Sweden, 1995. Uusmann, the minister for infrastructure, and Tingvall's political boss. At one point she turned to him and asked, simply: "How many deaths should we have as our long-term target in Sweden?" Tingvall replied: "Zero." To his surprise, Uusmann said she was interested and would like to hear more. This was the beginning of an approach to road safety known as "Vision Zero".>> <<(...) officials were no longer allowed to design roads for idealised drivers who never became distracted or exceeded the speed limit. They had to make roads for real people who made mistakes.>> <<The reality is that drivers do speed, and they get distracted by their phones or other passengers in the car. "Don't pretend that there are laws that you know everyone will follow," Tingvall says. "That's very unprofessional. You would never do that in aviation or in other areas where you really care for safety.">> <<(...) at the municipal level Vision Zero has been implemented in dozens of cities around the world, from #Barcelona to #Bogota. In 2011 it was adopted as part of the EU's road safety strategy>> https://lnkd.in/d2CXqZPU
