Overview
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.
