Racial Equity Federal Agenda 2022
” These recommendations will help provide a real framework, for real solutions to help make real change to Forster equity that expands opportunities for underserved communiteies and populations in energy, environment, transportation and public health. This is and important moment in history, we cannot become spectators or just consumers while these significant investments are being made in clean energy, transportation and the environment” – State Antoine M. Thompson, Executive Directory of the Greater Washington Region Clean Cities Coalition
“There’s an urgency now to engage and elevate opportunities for vulnerable and frontline communities who have borne the brunt of transportation emissions due to historical and systematic injustices. This may be our only chance to leverage this transformational funding to accelerate multimodal EV adoption and workforce and economic development opportunities while also improving public health.” – Dr. Shelley Francis, Co-Founder of EVNOIRE
2022 Federal Priorities for Advancing Racial Equity in Energy, Environment & Transportation
Eight Key Points
1. Funding for targeted EV Education / Community Outreach & Marketing to Increase EV Adoption in BIPOC/Underrepresented Communities who are often impacted first and worst from transportation emissions.
2. Funding to increase Diverse Businesses in the E-Mobility Sector with research funding to explore the opportunities across sectors and the supply chain.
3. Targeted funding for technical assistance and grants for the support of E-Mobility Workforce & Economic Inclusion / E-Mobility HBCU / HSI Fellowship Programs.
4. Funding for Research, Data Collection, Monitoring & Evaluation of Multimodal Electrification (e.g. understanding the Public Health Impacts / Solutions specific to underrepresented and frontline communities)
5. Convening of E-Mobility Equity Policy Forums / Listening Sessions / Followed by Report (Outlining Action Items).
6. Request meeting/s with this group at a regular cadence with White House to foster an ongoing communications loop and ensure that initiatives are progressing – Potential working group
7. Connect with White House for a multimodal EV event during National Drive Electric Week in September 2022. EVHybridNoire is one of the four international organizers of this annual event.
8. Create provisions for diverse vendors, contractors, consultants and e-mobility businesses to make it easier to do business and receive federal / state certifications, contracts, and other business opportunities. Prompt payment, pre-bid meetings, and set-aside projects are a just a few suggestions to enhance opportunities for diverse businesses.
