The Transport Climate Initiative (TCI): Challenges and Opportunities

The Energy Policy Research Foundation, Inc. (EPRINC – Washington, D.C.) is hosting a virtual workshop on the Northeast-Mid-Atlantic Transportation Climate Initiative (TCI). We expect a group of about 60 industry leaders, researchers, and senior policy makers. The workshop will take place on June 16, 2021 from 10:00am to 11:30am EDT.

EPRINC staff, policy makers and regional experts will explore the effectiveness of the program to meet its goals of lowering greenhouse gas (“GHG”) emissions. Among the topics to be discussed are how the program fits in with U.S. and international efforts to accelerate the energy transition, an assessment of the program’s impact on consumers, implementation challenges, and opportunities for green investments.

The Transportation and Climate Initiative (TCI) is a regional collaboration of potentially 12 Northeast and Mid-Atlantic states and the District of Columbia seeking to reduce consumption of petroleum-based fossil fuels in the transportation sector and introduce cleaner fuels and more effective transportation systems. The list of potentially participating jurisdictions are: Connecticut, Delaware, the District of Columbia, Maryland, Massachusetts, New Jersey, New York, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, Vermont, and Virginia.
