The global spread of electric vehicles (EVs) offers a promising solution to lowering carbon emissions and reducing reliance on fossil fuels. Successful integration of EVs heavily relies on the availability of charging infrastructure, a need addressed by the federal National Electric Vehicle Infrastructure (NEVI) Formula Program. This new whitepaper from Jacobs explores the lessons learned from the implementation of EV charging infrastructure through the NEVI program, focusing on the key stages: planning, procurement, contracting, design, construction, and and operations and maintenance (O&M).
Transportation is still the highest source of greenhouse gas emissions in the U.S. and one of the greatest carbon contributors globally. Governments and local authorities are continually researching ways to drive positive change through legislation and policy, and a large part of this will come down to urban mobility and transportation planning. To make the right decisions in these fields, we need the right data and measurement tools. Case in point: the Transportation Climate Impact Index by StreetLight Data. Their report uncovers how metros in the U.S. rank across eight key factors and reveals the major mobility trends impacting climate. In this episode, we discuss urban mobility and its role in climate change. We explore how to build a climate-resilient transportation system — one that offers social, environmental and commercial value. Our celebrated guests explain why urban mobility is one of the most critical areas of climate response, and more importantly, how we can better design our cities for greener futures with cleaner air and less traffic. Today, we’re speaking to Dr. Laura Schewel, CEO of StreetLight Data and VP of Transportation Software at Jacobs and Jenny Jones, Head of Transport Planning for Europe at Jacobs.
