The challenge
The transportation sector accounts for about 28% of U.S. greenhouse gas emissions and 15% globally. Recognizing the urgent need to reduce such emissions, our program is committed to transitioning from traditional fossil fuels to clean and renewable energy sources. This transition is not only about adopting new technologies but also about reimagining the future of mobility systems and the necessary adjustments to urban infrastructures to support these changes.
Our mission
Deeply rooted in the principles of equity, decarbonization, safety and resilience, we envision a future where mobility is not only efficient and accessible, but also creates pathways leading to cleaner, healthier, and more sustainable communities.
