Greenhouse gas emissions from transportation account for about 28 percent of total U.S. greenhouse gas emissions. As we work together to address the profound climate crisis, the U.S. DOT Volpe Center’s new speaker series, Innovation for a Sustainable, Equitable Transportation System, is exploring how to transition to a low-/no-carbon transportation system—one that enables disadvantaged communities to gain access to mobility, jobs, and economic opportunity.

Tim Wallington, PhD, Senior Technical Leader, Research and Advanced Engineering, Ford Motor Company, will present his talk “Toward Carbon Neutral Mobility” as part of the U.S. DOT Volpe Center’s 2021 thought leadership series, Innovation for a Sustainable, Equitable Transportation System, on Tuesday, August 24, 2021, at 12 p.m. (ET).

Attend the Event

The public is invited to join us by livestream. Each speaker’s presentation will be followed by a Q&A period where event participants are invited to share ideas, ask questions, and engage with our speakers. View event details and register to attend.
