Transportation Committee

The Transportation Committee convenes State Energy Officials and NASEO affiliate members to address key policies, programs, and technologies impacting energy use in the U.S. transportation sector. The Committee meets in-person and virtually throughout the year discussing a range of issues including planning for electric vehicle (EV) infrastructure to support light, medium-and heavy-duty electrification; hydrogen fuel cell vehicle and fueling infrastructure deployment; solutions to minimize electricity demand from EV charging; and other emerging transportation-energy related issues.
