SEMO Alternative Fuel and Infrastructure Collaboration

Discover how clean transportation technology can cut fleet operating costs, bring grant funding to our SEMO, and build a cleaner future.
About this Event

Join the Southeast Missouri Regional Planning Commission (SEMORPC) and the Eastern Missouri Alliance for Clean Transportation (EM-ACT) for the SEMO Alternative Fuel and Infrastructure Collaboration meeting. THis session is dedicated to advancing clean transportation across our region. This event features a deep dive into suitable alternative fuel technologies—including electric, propane, compressed natural gas (CNG), biodiesel, and hydrogen—tailored specifically for municipal fleets, school buses, public transit, and heavy equipment. Attendees will gain valuable insights into federal, state, and regional grant programs, tax credits, and other rebates available for vehicle and infrastructure costs. You will also hear real-world experiences and performance data shared directly by regional fleet operators and municipal leaders who have successfully deployed clean vehicles. Finally, we will host an interactive collaborative roundtable to address local challenges for adoption.

Why Should You Attend?

Transitioning to alternative fuels can protect budgets against volatile fuel prices while significantly lowering long-term maintenance expenses. At this event, you will learn how to tap into regional, state, and federal grant opportunities to fund alternative fuel adoption. You will also have the chance to network directly with regional planners, fleet managers, and technical experts.
