Greenhouse gas emissions from transportation account for about 28 percent of total U.S. greenhouse gas emissions. As we work together to address the profound climate crisis, the U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT) Volpe Center’s new speaker series, Innovation for a Sustainable, Equitable Transportation System, is exploring how to transition to a low-/no-carbon transportation system—one that enables disadvantaged communities to gain access to mobility, jobs, and economic opportunity.
Tim Wallington, PhD, Senior Technical Leader, Research and Advanced Engineering, Ford Motor Company, will present his talk "Toward Carbon Neutral Mobility" as part of the series on Tuesday, August 24, 2021. Wallington works with a global team of Ford scientists and engineers to understand local, regional, and global environmental impacts of transportation and to provide sustainable mobility.
