The Wisconsin Department of Transportation (WSDOT) proposes to collaborate with other states to establish a community of practice that can share information as the states develop strategies and best practices to support commercialization of electric vehicles and infrastructure. Specifically, this project will bring together executive-level representatives from fifteen states to engage in a highly interactive series of discussions, presentations, and peer-to-peer exchanges. The proposed workshops will help Departments of Transportation (DOTs) build their capacity and capabilities to work with private partners as well as federal, state, and local officials as transportation electrification efforts gain momentum around the country. The workshops are geared towards the state DOT executive policy level. Each state DOT will serve as the lead and can invite one additional participant from their respective state from the following categories: other state agencies (energy, ecology, or clean air agencies), governor's office, legislators, Regional Transportation Planning Organizations, universities, or city governments. The content of the workshops will be focused towards states that are already well underway in the process of supporting the commercialization of electric vehicles and infrastructure. Papers capturing the status of participating state's policies supporting commercialization of electric vehicles and infrastructure will be developed in addition to communication materials for the web. |
