WRISE Los Angeles is excited to host a networking event, featuring guest speaker Laura Renger, Executive Director at California Electric Transportation Coalition.

Laura Renger will give some remarks covering the amazing work being done by CalETC, followed by a Q&A and then open networking time. We love having the opportunity to shine a spotlight on the interesting work being done in our community, in addition to providing a safe, open space for professional networking.

About our speaker Laura Renger and California Electric Transportation Coalition:

CalETC is a non-profit association promoting economic growth, clean air, fuel diversity and energy independence, and combating climate change through the use of electric transportation. CalETC is committed to the successful introduction and large-scale deployment of all forms of electric transportation including plug-in electric vehicles, transit buses, port electrification, off-road electric vehicles and equipment, and rail. CalETC was created over 20 years ago with a charter to promote electric transportation as a means to reach the clean air goals in California. We have worked tirelessly to support all forms of electric transportation. Over the last 20 years electric off-road equipment has become commonplace with forklifts, airport equipment, lawn equipment and other types of off-road equipment transitioning to clean electricity. This transition has resulted in significantly lowering the use of petroleum in these various categories, paving the way for the next wave of on-road large-scale deployment of electric vehicles. With every major automaker producing or announcing production of some manner of electric vehicle, California is poised to continue to lead the transition of the transportation sector away from petroleum and towards electricity. CalETC will continue to support all aspects of the transition to electric transportation, working closely with our government, environmental, and industry partners to ensure success.
