SUMMARY:Frontline Communities & Agencies Working on Zero Emission Truck Transitions
DESCRIPTION:\n\n\nJoin us on May 16 to learn more about how frontline communities and agencies are working together toward zero emission truck transitions. Over the past year-and-a-half, coalitions in Chicago, San Diego, and San Jose have been working to reduce freight truck emissions in disproportionately impacted communities as part of the Delivering Zero Emissions Communities (DZEC) clean trucks accelerator program. Brought to you by NRDC and CALSTART, this webinar will highlight achievements and learnings from each coalition and provide a forum to discuss catalyzing community-supported clean freight transitions. Our interactive panel will bring together perspectives from the City of Chicago, City of San Jose, Port of San Diego, San Diego Association of Governments, and community groups Center for Neighborhood Technology (CNT), Environmental Health Coalition (EHC), and Little Village Environmental Justice Organization (LVEJO).\nPanelists\nChicago Coalition\n\nJose Acosta, Senior Transportation Policy Analyst, Little Village Environmental Justice Organization (LVEJO)\nSamantha Bingham, Clean Transportation Program Director, Chicago Department of Transportation (DOT)\nPaulina Vaca, Project Associate, Center for Neighborhood Technology (CNT)\n\nSan Diego Coalition\n\nPhilip Gibbons, Environment & Sustainability Program Director, Port of San Diego\nJeff Hoyos, Regional Energy/Climate Planner, San Diego Association of Governments (SANDAG)\nMeli Morales, Policy Advocate, Environmental Health Coalition (EHC)\n\nSan Jose Coalition\n\nSarah Abroff, Associate Transportation Specialist, City of San Jose\nChristian Ollano, Winter Consulting, DZEC San Jose Community Engagement Manager\n\nModerators\n\nAl Beatty, CALSTART, DZEC Technical Assistance Manager\nSarah Elkotbeid, NRDC, DZEC Program Coordinator\nEleanor Leshner, Leshner Planning, DZEC Program Manager\nMartha Roskowski, Further Strategies, DZEC Senior Advisor\n\n\n\n\n\nAgenda\n\nWelcome & Introduction\nCity Coalition Share Outs & Lessons Learned\nModerated Discussion\nAudience Q&A\nClosing\n\n\n\n\n\nWhat is DZEC?\nThe Delivering Zero Emission Communities (DZEC) clean truck accelerator program is exploring new models to address our climate and health crises. Coalitions in Chicago, San Diego, and San Jose have been working towards reducing freight truck emissions in low-income communities of color by bringing community-based organizations and local agencies together to collectively tackle truck pollution. This community-first coalition model has led to mapping pollution in neighborhoods near warehouses, visiting truck stops to talk to independent drivers, and learning that a handful of trucks can constitute a majority of trips. All of these efforts have been helpful in identifying top targets for electrification. Centering the voices of environmental justice groups in the work, with their lived experience and community connections, has helped agencies to design better and more effective programs that are responsive to community needs and provide more benefits for the community, building support and momentum for their policies. Implementing programs to improve the lives of those that are disproportionately affected by freight truck pollution has fostered better relationships between community groups and local agency staff.\n\n\n
