Description
This workshop, brought to you by Forth and Drive Electric Minnesota, explores four key focus areas: affordability, multifamily housing (MFH), workforce development and sustainable transportation policy, the session will highlight how stakeholders across the region are working together to expand equitable access to electric mobility. Participants will hear examples of policies and utility programs designed to reduce cost barriers, strategies for engaging MFH developers and residents in EV charging deployment, and lessons from state-level sustainable transportation initiatives. Drawing on real efforts, such as bringing charging investments to underserved neighborhoods, promoting multimodal campaigns shaped by local priorities, and supporting municipalities through advocacy and resource sharing, the workshop will provide practical insights for designing electric transportation programs that start with community voices and reflect community needs.
***Complimentary passes available to Drive Electric Minnesota members and members of CBOs
