On April 18th, 2024, the California Air Resources Board (CARB) will host our 2nd Annual Clean Transportation Equity Incentive Symposium, focused on light-duty and mobility incentive programs. Similar to last year, the Symposium aims to bring together project administrators, outreach partners, community groups, and other key stakeholders to reflect on and provide transparency into CARB’s clean transportation incentives program implementation. This will be an in-person event located at our headquarters in Sacramento, and it is open to the general public. There will also be a remote option for those who cannot attend in-person.
Please register via the link above by April 8, 2024, and let us know if you plan to attend in-person or remotely. We will send a Zoom meeting link to those who register as attending remotely in advance of the Symposium.
This full-day event will include a keynote address from a special guest in CARB’s leadership, as well as panel discussions, breakout rooms, networking, and more. Please see the Event Agenda for more details. A more detailed, final agenda will be posted on April 1, 2024.
