Centering Equity in Electric Mobility: The First Year of TEEM

Toward Equitable Electric Mobility (TEEM) was created in 2021 to improve equitable clean transportation by enabling cohort members to share policy goals, learn together, build capacity, and develop a sense of belonging and mutual commitment towards advancing racial equity and climate change goals in electric mobility. To confront traditional power structures that often favor environmental organizations, TEEM centers equity in its design. Its first year focused on building relationships, trust, and capacity across equity and environmental groups. This brief summarizes findings from the first year of TEEM.
