Charging Ahead: Global Strategies for Bus Electrification

crux alliance logo

Co-hosted by the Crux Alliance, Institute for Transportation and Development Policy, International Council on Clean Transportation, Drive Electric Campaign, the Aspen Global Change Institute, Regulatory Assistance Project, and NY Climate Exchange.

Electric cars alone won’t save the climate. To limit global heating, cities must get drivers out of cars and into reliable, all-electric bus systems. By doing so, cities can lower housing and transport costs for residents, cut pollution, enhance livability, and promote equity. At this event, you’ll hear inspiring stories from Asia, Latin America, Africa, and North America, where electric bus systems are effectively cutting carbon emissions, while delivering affordable, accessible, world-class transportation to rapidly-growing cities.

Policymakers, sustainable transportation experts, and climate funders will share how they collaborate to overcome political, financial, and technological challenges, and illuminate key lessons learned for other global cities charting the path to electric transport for all.
