The Roadmap to Net Zero by 2050: Transitioning to Electric Vehicles in the Commonwealth

The Roadmap to Net Zero by 2050: Transitioning to Electric Vehicles in the Commonwealth

Tuesday, October 29, 2024, 9:30-11:00 AM

In-person only

The transportation sector accounts for 42% of greenhouse gas emissions in the Commonwealth, with about 90% of those emissions attributed to passenger vehicles and commercial trucks. State plans call for switching nearly all internal combustion engine vehicles to EVs by 2050, which will require action and leadership from the public and private sectors alike. Join us for an in-person conversation with the Massachusetts Department of Transportation Electric Vehicle Infrastructure Deployment Team, Amazon, and Friends of Post Office Square to discuss progress to date and future plans.
