CALSTART

CALSTART works with the clean transportation industry sector and vehicle fleets to help them transition to a clean energy future. They focus on policies that spur innovation and encourage long-term investment. During the grant term, CALSTART will work toward raising ambition and defending the implementation of existing policies, such as the Low Carbon Fuel Standard and Zero Emissions Vehicle Mandate in California, and fuel economy standards in the United States. CALSTART will continue to build on their successful "Race to Zero Emissions" program, for zero emission buses in China and the United States, and plans to build more international support.

CALSTART works with the transportation industry sector and vehicle fleets to help them transition to a clean energy future. With this support, CALSTART would work to defend the implementation of existing policies, such as the Low Carbon Fuel Standard in California, and the next phase of the fuel economy standard for trucks in the United States. One of the newest priorities is to help implement Governor Jerry Brown’s recently announced target for the state to reduce oil consumption and related pollution by 50% by 2030.
