About the Collaborative
The Texas A&M Transportation Institute (TTI) and the Center for Advancing Research in Transportation Energy, Emissions, and Health (CARTEEH) are setting up a Clean Transportation Collaborative (CTC) to facilitate thought leadership in the transition to a low-emissions transportation system.
The CTC consists of stakeholders with interests in transportation, energy and emissions in both the private and public sectors. As there is a renewed focus on clean transportation, including vehicle electrification, there is a need for multiple sectors to collaborate in ways they have done before.
The intent of the collaborative is to facilitate thought leadership in the transition to a low-emissions transportation system. CTC members will come together to reach common goals of:
- Stakeholder collaboration between the transportation electrification infrastructure, energy, and rolling stock sectors
- Use of scientific and objective data to inform policy makers and other interested stakeholders of the emission impacts of existing and emerging vehicle technologies
- Education of policy makers on the singular and multiple emission reduction benefits of various vehicle technologies
- Maximization of emission reduction in the transportation sector in a cost effective manner
- Leading the nation in early completion of state-of-the-art emission, economic, and technology assessments regarding each vehicle technology
- Collaborative development of effective approaches to maximize emission reductions in the transportation sector thereby advance equity and health outcomes
Membership
CTC is a membership collaborative by invitation only. Our activities are supported through CARTEEH funds, and we ask members to bring their expertise to the table and engage with us. This is an excellent opportunity for members to collaborate and help guide research being conducted by CARTEEH. To see a list of current members, click here. If you would like your organization to be considered for membership, please contact Alice Grossman ([email protected]).
CTC Activities
The CTC will serve as a forum for interdisciplinary, intersectoral collaboration and discussion. Our activities will include workshops, seminars, development of white papers, and initiating research, analysis and testing activities at CARTEEH. More information about upcoming events and opportunities for engagement are coming soon.
Upcoming Events
- A kick-off event for the CTC will take place in person at TTI facilities with speakers, facility tours, and networking in early fall. More information forthcoming.
