Moderator: Frank Morris, Clean Cities Georgia; Speakers: Dale Aspy, EPA; Ian Skelton, Southern Company Gas; TBD, Georgia Environmental Finance AuthorityRoom 11
The Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (IIJA) a.k.a. the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law (BIL) passed November 5, 2021 and the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) passed on August 12, 2022 has provided unprecedented levels of funding, tax credits and other incentives for the transportation sector over the next several years. This session will focus on the opportunities for alternative fuel vehicles which include electric, hydrogen, natural gas and propane. In particular, the $5.0B National Electric Vehicle Infrastructure (NEVI) program, $2.5B Charging and Fueling Infrastructure (CFI) grants for communities and interstate corridors, the EPA Clean School Bus rebate program, the EPA Diesel Emissions Reduction Act (DERA) program, and the FTA Low or No Emissions Grants for transit buses. Join us to hear how both public and private entities can collaborate to leverage these opportunities to elevate clean, sustainable transportation in your organization or community.
