Partnering for Real Change
The California Energy Commission's Clean Transportation Program provides funding to transform California’s transportation systems through the clean transportation projects that develop and deploy innovative technologies, helping to attain the State’s climate goals while improving environmental, economic, and social benefits, especially for those communities most impacted by historical and current inequities. The Foundation for California Community Colleges (the Foundation) supports those efforts by leveraging the reach of all 116 California community colleges, by increasing access to resources that enhance the quality of life for all.
Listening Sessions for the Clean Transportation Program's Community Benefits Framework
The California Energy Commission’s Clean Transportation Program (CTP) is hosting listening sessions to hear directly from communities and support the development of the CTP's Community Benefits Framework. This framework will allow for better defining, measuring, and tracking of CTP investments and their associated community benefits. If you are interested in participating, please send an email to zevoutreach@foundationccc.org and we can help connect you with staff in the Clean Transportation Program.
