Last year, NEEP launched a new initiative to support clean transportation planning in the Northeast with funding from the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE). This project highlights the connections between clean transportation, community-level decarbonization, and regional greenhouse gas reduction goals. It centers community engagement and community decision-making, so equitable and accessible engagement strategies are crucial for the project’s success.
