Not only that\, another of the top three fleet managers identified by NAFA is also speaking! \nWe also have the fleet professional that was paid by a municipality $400\,000 for solutions to their challenges. This same man will be offering you solutions to your biggest challenges. \nAlso the Chief Judge of the Green Fleet Awards contest will be giving us valuable insights from the best sustainable fleets. \nThis gathering of speakers is a one-time-only forum that you can’t afford to miss. \nJoin either of these two round-table\, interactive\, relevant meetings; with managers of outstanding fleets in the East. These are hands-on\, real-world problem-solving sessions guided by the needs and interests of your fellow fleet professionals. \nWe only learn from the best…what is working for them and why! \nMajor topics we will discuss include: \n\nFunding. There will be an update on the Volkswagen payout of $4.7 billion dollars for public fleets. This is your money but you need to apply for it. Plus learn about other new alternative ways of funding replacements.\nFive emerging technologies and trends. They are changing the industry. (There are only two ways to do more with less; technology is one of them.)\nTechnician shortage. We will discuss positive solutions for the technician shortage.\nCase studies of shared services. They are saving millions of dollars for cities and counties.\n#1 Bestselling business book. Find out why it has been doing so well for the past 10 years. The concepts will be examined in the context of fleet management results.\nPurchasing without time consuming\, expensive RFPs.\nMotivating public employees without using money.This topic was presented by a fleet manager to Harvard School of Government.\nMobility applications. They can streamline and reduce your costs.\nEffective communication. It is a must for implementing change management and getting buy-in for new ideas.

SUMMARY:Exploring Climate Solutions: CT 2018 Comprehensive Energy Strategy
DESCRIPTION:In our upcoming March 1st lunchtime webinar\, join us to explore Connecticut’s recently released 2018 Comprehensive Energy Strategy (CES). By statute\, the Department of Energy and Environmental Protection is required to periodically update the CES for all energy needs in the state\, including\, but not limited to\, electricity\, heating\, cooling\, and transportation. The 2018 CES recommends policies that support the state’s broader environmental policies to meet clean air\, clean water\, land conservation and development\, and waste reduction goals\, including reducing GHG emissions 10 percent below 1990 levels by 2020 and 80 percent below 2001 levels by 2050. More specifically the finalized 2018 CES recommends eight key strategies to guide administrative and legislative action over the next several years. These include:\n• Ensure sustainable and equitable funding for efficiency\n• Advance market transformation of the energy efficiency industry\n• Grow and sustain renewable and zero-carbon generation in the state and region\n• Expand deployment of all cost-effective distributed generation (“behind the meter”) in a sustainable manner\n• Continue to improve grid reliability and resiliency through state and regional efforts\n• Reduce transportation greenhouse gas emissions by accelerating the adoption of low and zero emission vehicles and strengthening alternative-fueling infrastructure\n• Increase mobility\, connectivity and accessibility by advancing smart-growth\, mixed-use transit-oriented development\, and innovative transportation partnerships\n• Modernize the grid \nPlease join us to learn more by registering here. After registering\, you will receive a confirmation email containing information about joining the meeting.

SUMMARY:Conference on Electric Roads & Vehicles 2018
DESCRIPTION:CERV focuses on new approaches to transportation that integrate energy\, vehicle\, communication\, and highway infrastructures into a more flexible\, efficient\, and convenient network of electric roads and vehicles. \nElectricity has a unique ability to transform travel but will likely need to extend beyond charging batteries in parked vehicles using manual plug-in systems. CERV provides a venue to explore technologies that deliver energy in an automated fashion either wirelessly or through other novel conductive approaches\, on demand\, in real time\, and to both stationary and moving vehicles. \nUnlike today’s transportation system\, which is fueled almost exclusively by oil\, a transportation system based on electric roads and vehicles will: \n\nEliminate the range anxiety associated with electric vehicles\,\nEnable robust competition among several primary energy sources\,\nReduce vehicle energy consumption\, and\nEliminate mobile-source emissions.\n\nCERV provides scientists\, engineers\, managers\, policy-makers\, investors and other interested private sector stakeholders with a forum where they can present\, discuss\, and learn about new power transfer technologies and their applicability to the vehicle transportation industry.

SUMMARY:Energy Independence Summit 2018
DESCRIPTION:Attend the Nation’s Premier Clean Transportation Policy Summit \nRegistration is now open for Energy Independence Summit 2018.  The Summit provides a unique opportunity for Clean Cities Coalitions and leaders in the clean transportation industry to network and build partnerships with each other\, and with key Congressional and Administration policymakers in Washington\, DC. \nThe 2018 Summit will take place as the various alternative fuels industries continue to gain momentum across the country.  The Summit will feature sessions on new opportunities created by the Volkswagen Settlement and expanding state and local programs that provide funding and incentives for clean vehicles and infrastructure. \nWhile many state and local clean transportation programs are thriving\, the federal alternative fuels programs remain vulnerable.  Most federal tax incentives have expired and their future is uncertain as Congress considers various tax reform proposals.  The EPA is considering proposing reducing volumes under the Renewable Fuel Standard\, which would threaten the progress of the biodiesel\, renewable natural gas\, and advanced ethanol industries. And critical funding for Clean Cities\, the Diesel Emission Reduction Grants\, and other clean transportation programs remain extremely vulnerable. \nEnergy Independence Summit 2018 represents an important opportunity to meet with leaders of the new Administration and Congress\, and to educate them about the value of these effective programs and how they are critical to continuing to advance markets for alternative fuels and advanced technology vehicles.\nSpecifically\, you will have the opportunity to: \n\nMeet with leaders of the new Administration and key Congressional leaders.\nLearn the latest on how you can benefit from investments from the Volkswagen Settlement.\nNetwork with the nation’s Clean Cities Coalitions and top industry leaders.\nParticipate in Roundtable discussions with DOE\, EPA\, DOT\, USDA\, and DOD.\nLearn about new technologies and market developments that are driving the alternative fuels industry forward.\nParticipate in Capitol Hill Day meetings and educate your Members of Congress about your successful projects achieved in partnership with government and industry.\nAttend the special Capitol Hill Day reception hosted by UPS.\n\nPlease contact Ken Brown at Transportation Energy Partners at ken@akbstrategies.com or (202) 674-7777 if you have questions or would like additional information about the Summit. We look forward to seeing you in DC in February! \nHundreds of clean transportation leaders will be in D.C. for Energy Independence Summit 2018 – we hope that you will be there too. Register now.
