The Future of Electric Vehicles
The Southeast Regional Climate Change Compact held an Electric Vehicle Workshop which brought together public, private, and nonprofit leaders with environmental interests in the future of electric vehicles. Topics of discussion were ways to promote EV adoption, implement EV friendly policies, and fund EV projects.

Mark Smith, the Southeast Florida Clean Cities Coalition Coordinator addressed attendees on the issue of alternative fuels and the importance of EV. Thank you to the Climate Compact, and specifically Lauren Ordway and Vie Duncan of the Institute for Sustainable Communities for planning and managing the event.
