Electrifying Transportation
As the electrical grid transitions off fossil fuels, renewable energy can and must power our transportation systems. This transition should not be narrowly conceived as simply getting more personal electric vehicles on the road; instead, it should be thought of as a broader transformation of our transportation systems to address decades of inequitable, unhealthy, and unsustainable planning.
This brief series situates electrifying transportation in a broader framework of transportation justice. It covers the major barriers and potential policy solutions for affordable, accessible, and clean transportation.
