for the Clean Transportation for All campaign
The Sierra Club Foundation was founded in 1960 to administer funds in support of scientific, educational, charitable, and literary efforts to preserve, protect, and restore the natural environment. The Sierra Club Foundation’s Clean Transportation for All campaign aims to reduce climate and air pollution, create jobs, and expand access to transportation by ensuring that 100% of the road vehicle fleet in the U.S. is electric. This grant supports the program’s plans to work within federal regulatory and state policy to advance clean trucks and buses and secure funds for EV charging infrastructure.
