When it comes to sustainable mobility, we have a long ride ahead. Virginia’s transportation sector alone accounts for almost half of our carbon emissions. And most Virginians are forced to commute in gas-burning cars. Our infrastructure is so outdated it’s putting the state in grave danger from climate change.

We imagine a future where we can all get around sustainability, equitably, and easily. Join CCAN and RVA Rapid Transit to get the full scoop on sustainable transportation! This will be the first in a series of webinars on transportation.
