Event: Meeting The Moment: Understanding America’s Energy and Transportation Transition


This congressional session has produced landmark legislation – the Inflation Reduction Act(IRA), the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (IIJA), and the CHIPS Act – covering broad array of transportation, infrastructure, supply chain challenges. Many of these bills’ provisions reflect long-standing SAFE and EC proposals. Collectively they help move America closer to achieving our core mission of reducing dependence on oil for transportation by accelerating the shift towards more diverse, secure, and reliable sources of energy. They establish a critical base of industrial capabilities and policies that will enable the transition to an electric transportation future over the longer term.
