Location: Emily Carr University of Art + Design
The afternoon session is an interactive workshop to draft the critical path to lower emission fleets by 2032. During the workshop, participants will co-create a path to zero emission transportation by integrating duty and procurement cycles with vehicle availability and training and charging needs. Participants will be provided with worksheets and guidance to plan their transition to ZEV and facilitators will rely on industry insider knowledge from participants to create a realistic plan. Reel Green will follow up annually with participants to track progress and assist with revising critical paths in light of new vehicle availability, infrastructure build out, and advancing regulations.
