Policy and Advocacy
Policy and advocacy are at the heart of the Initiative for Sustainable Transportation’s mission to promote alternative energy solutions in transportation. By influencing public policy, we can drive the adoption of clean, efficient transportation technologies that reduce our dependence on fossil fuels, lower greenhouse gas emissions, and enhance public health.
Advocacy ensures that our voices are heard in the decision-making processes that shape the future of transportation infrastructure, regulations, and funding. Through strategic policy development and advocacy efforts, we work to create a sustainable, equitable transportation system that benefits communities, the environment, and the economy.
