Transportation Committee

The Transportation Committee convenes State Energy Officials and NASEO affiliate partners to address key policies, programs, and technologies impacting energy use in the U.S. transportation sector. The committee meets in-person and virtually throughout the year discussing a range of issues including planning for transportation electrification and electric vehicle (EV)-grid integration; bioenergy use and the advancement of Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF); hydrogen fuel cell vehicle and fueling infrastructure deployment; solutions to minimize electricity demand from EV charging while maintaining affordability; and other emerging transportation-energy related issues.
