The Southern Alliance for Clean Energy (SACE) and Southeast Sustainability Directors Network (SSDN) are hosting a collaborative of local governments this September in Savannah to inform local governments on how to position communities to be more competitive for federal transportation electrification funding.

We welcome two Electric Vehicle Champions from any local government in Georgia, Florida, North Carolina, South Carolina, and Tennessee to join us on September 14 and 15 in Savannah, Georgia. We anticipated a diverse pool of participants (sustainability staff, city manager, elected official, fleet staff, planning staff, finance staff, etc.) that reflect and represent the unique electric transportation goals of participating municipalities.

Individual registrations are required. Please note that completing this form does not guarantee a spot at the event. Please only sign-up with this form to attend the 'Electrify The South' Collaborative if you are confident in your ability to attend. We will confirm your spot at the event via email. If you register and cannot make it, please email Dory Larsen at Dory@cleanenergy.org so we can add someone from the waitlist.  

The goal of the collaborative is to:

1. Equip local governments with the knowledge, tools, and technical assistance needed to apply directly for federal funding and to influence state formula funding planning and implementation
2. Strengthen peer-to-peer networks to support information sharing and application collaboration where applicable
3. Discuss how to ensure Justice40 guidelines are integrated into project planning and implementation
4. Enhance local government and state agency collaboration to ensure state-led program design and funding priorities align with local needs and priorities
5. Support rural and urban communities in the Southeast to capture a proportional share of federal investments

The event will start on the afternoon of the 14th and conclude on the afternoon of the 15th. There is no registration fee to attend this event. Lodging on the 14th will be provided. $100 travel stipends are available through a generous Movement Infrastructure Grant from Mosaic.
