Michigan Clean Cities

We hosted our final engagement session with Detroit residents to receive input on local transportation. Hosted at the Industry Innovation Center, the Charlotte and Weber apartments' community shared their questions, concerns, wants, and needs when it comes to transportation. Thanks to LISC Detroit for partnering with us on these insightful events!

Our team visited Jackson Public Schools this week to see their new fleet of electric school buses. We joined organizations from the It's Electric coalition on-site to promote electric school buses for healthier air and smoother rides for students. Jeffrey Hoang shared his experience while riding one of the new electric school buses.

Last week was busy for our team in Detroit! We started at the Forth Roadmap Conference where Director Maggie Striz Calnin joined a panel discussion on used electric vehicles. The conference also featured workgroup meetings with TEEM (Towards Equitable Electric Mobility) and CCEEJI (Clean Cities Energy and Environmental Justice Initiative) through the Clean Cities network. It was a productive week connecting with so many people who share our vision of improving clean transportation options in Michigan!

The fall season is upon us, so let's take a moment to look back at a busy summer! - Lt. Gov. Garlin Gilchrist II delivered remarks at the opening of the Affordable Mobility Platform (AMP) at River Crest in Detroit. - We hosted a listening session at Dreamtroit, playing games and talking to residents about their transit concerns. - The 2024 Clean Cities and Communities Training Workshop in St. Paul, MN featured our partner programs sharing their experiences promoting clean and alternative fuels, plus we got to see a fully electric fire truck. - Our team went to Kalamazoo to host an ice cream social and introduce residents of the Creamery Apartments to a local AMP site.

We were in St. Paul, MN this week for the 2024 Clean Cities and Communities Training Workshop! Coalitions like ours from across the country shared their experiences promoting clean, alternative fuels and transportation options. We even got to check out a fully electric fire truck!

Check out the @sarah-n-tuned review of the 2025 Ionic 5N. It's legit the best EV review we've ever seen. 6:09 starts the Bean Assessment. 18:42 is the score board https://lnkd.in/gfihWsVt #DriveElectricMI #DEMI #DriveElectricUSA

We recently hosted an ice cream social at the Creamery Apartments promoting an AMP care share site in Kalamazoo. Many residents and community members did not previously know about the AMP program, so this was their first time learning about this mobility opportunity. Access to affordable, clean transportation is critical for our communities!

We had a busy week to end the month of August! On Wednesday, we returned to Dreamtroit for a transportation engagement session, playing games and listening to residents about their transit concerns. Then, just 12 hours later on Thursday we attended and spoke at Biodiesel on the Riverwalk. Hosted by the Detroit Wayne County Port Authority, we joined several partners to show our support for adopting and using biofuels.

Lots of clean transportation funding opportunities in Michigan right now! We compiled a list of four grants and rebates that are currently open through at least September: - Charging and fueling infrastructure grants - New propane vehicle rebates - MI Clean Bus Energy Grant - Michigan National EV Infrastructure Grants Check out the full list where you can get more details on each one: https://lnkd.in/ehCSmf7F
