The Trucking Sector Workgroup meets every other month by teleconference
and at least once a year in-person to share information on current
and potential emissions reduction projects along the West Coast.
The workgroup focuses on topics that include reducing emissions along
major transportation corridors (such as Interstates) and near population
centers, exploring innovative financing mechanisms, leveraging federal
funds for projects, sharing lessons learned regarding technologies
and practices, and exploring the use of alternative fuels to reduce
emissions. Members of this workgroup are integral to its success
in implementing innovative trucking projects. If you would like more
information or would like to join the Trucking Sector Workgroup,
please contact
Trina Martynowicz.
