Presentation on reduction in transportation electrification and non-electrification emissions is needed to advance mobility and economic goals.

The second online UTC Seminar Series presentation of the Fall 2025 semester will provide an overview of metropolitan Chicago's unique transportation emissions profile and spotlight key strategies to reduce emissions in support of the Chicago Metropolitan Agency for Planning’s Comprehensive Climate Action Plan.  Get access to the Plan from this link.

Using new modeling insights, our panelists will explore why a broad mix of transportation electrification and non-electrification emissions reduction strategies are crucial not only for slashing emissions, but also for advancing other mobility and economic goals.

Thanks to all who participated in the October 16 presentation.  Visit this link to access a UIC Box folder with a recording and the PowerPoint presentation.
