As the adoption of electric vehicles (EVs) and aircraft grows, centralizing EV charging within multimodal transportation hubs will be a dramatic, technology-driven transformation of transportation – and one that few states and local governments are prepared for. Today’s speakers will explore the relationship between green energy and transportation.
Specific topics to be explored include:
-The nexus between aviation, surface and marine transportation electrification, and the power to leverage public and private assets and financial resources.
– Northwest electrification and how to bring innovative technologies to communities of color.
This first panel will address SeaTac Airport as it evolves to becoming a multimodal hub for clean fuels, and statewide electric/autonomous flight.
The second panel will address smart cities, smart fleets, and green community mobility.
The session will wrap up with a presentation from the Western Governors Association on efforts underway to electrify western highways.
