Transportation
QLF’s transportation program, based in Vermont, promotes the use of advanced vehicle technologies, fosters progressive transportation emission policies, seeks to broaden public support for such policies, and works towards the advancement of technologies to meet those emission goals. Since 1996, QLF has provided substantial technical assistance to Vermont and other states in the northeast to help them adopt and implement the California LEV program. In addition, QLF provides public outreach aimed at educating the public about the interrelationships between transportation, air quality, and climate change.
QLF has also helped to create EVermont, an advanced vehicle technology research consortium focused on the role of electricity and efficiency in transportation. QLF managed the operations of the consortium, and staff member Tom Horn now serves on its Board. QLF staff also provide consulting services to various partner entities to help address local and national energy and transportation issues.
