Colorado's Clean Truck Strategy Public Meetings
The Colorado Department of Transportation (CDOT), Colorado Department of Public Health & Environment (CDPHE), and the Colorado Energy Office (CEO) will host a series of joint online public meetings to discuss Colorado's Clean Truck Strategy (more details available here: https://www.codot.gov/news/2020/july-2020/comprehensivecleantruckingstrategy).

Last month, the state signed a multi-state Memorandum of Understanding to work collaboratively to advance the market for electric trucks and buses. The agencies also announced a public process to work with industry and community stakeholders to develop a broad set of strategies to reduce emissions from heavy-duty vehicles. With transportation now the largest source of air pollution in Colorado -- and with our economy increasingly reliant on freight, as exemplified during the COVID-19 crisis -- it is critical that the state develop a thoughtful and balanced approach that provides a pathway for emissions reductions from this key sector. This series of public meetings will provide input to this strategy.

Please save the dates for these public meetings and share with any other stakeholders that may be interested in this topic.
