Georgia Partnership Seeks to Boost Clean Transportation in Black Communities

With $1.4 million in funding from the Department of Energy, the Electric Black Future project will work directly with Black communities to develop e-mobility plans to enhance public transit, electric shuttle, e-bike and e-scooter, and walkability in communities that have historically been left without transit access and exposed to more pollution from gas-powered vehicles. It will also work to address occupational segregation in the clean energy sector, where only 8 percent of workers are Black or African American.
