ACT Expo Answers Your Questions Welcome Clean Air Innovators, What will the future of passenger transport, freight transport and energy demand and generation look like? What viable transportation technology options are posed for commercialization and what partnerships can and should be fostered? How can stakeholders work together to develop the necessary resources to bring these emerging technologies to market? William Burke These are only a few of the myriad questions that businesses today must consider to determine which transportation technologies and strategies they should employ to achieve success. The South Coast Air Quality Management District (SCAQMD)

is proud to be a platinum sponsor of the Alternative Clean Transportation Expo. ACT Expo will provide the latest information on new and emerging clean vehicle technologies and alternative fuels with a focus on near-zero and zero-emission technologies in the transportation and goods movement industries. Over the years, the SCAQMD through its Clean Fuels Program has co-sponsored projects to develop, demonstrate and commercialize advanced low- and zero-emission technologies to reduce emissions in all market areas. These projects are conducted through public-private partnerships with industry, technology developers, academic and research institutes and local, state and federal agencies. Project areas encompass emission control technologies, engine and systems technologies, alternative fuels and infrastructure, and electric and hybrid-electric technologies. More recently, the SCAQMD has increased its efforts to develop and demonstrate alternative fuels such as natural gas and hydrogen, and electric and hybrid-electric technologies for the transportation and goods movement sectors. The deployment of these clean technologies reduces smog-forming oxides of nitrogen, particulate matter and greenhouse gases. Attainment of the clean air goals for this region is vital to its continued growth and success. In 2010 for example, the SCAQMD contributed nearly $8 million towards such projects with total project costs of more than $56 million. The SCAQMD also administers the Carl Moyer and the Proposition 1B Goods Movement Incentive Programs. In the past 12 years of the Carl Moyer program, the SCAQMD
has co-sponsored alternative fuel projects of approximately $57 million. In 2009, the SCAQMD’s Proposition 1B Program funded LNG truck projects exceeding $55 million. Southern California will require broad deployment of alternative fuel technologies, including nearzero and zero-emission technologies, to attain federal air quality standards. SCAQMD is developing an approach to expand outreach to fleet operators and the general public to facilitate use of hybrid and pure electric vehicles. A potential technology path will include plugin hybrid electric and extendedrange EVs; hybrid electrics; alter native fuel (primarily natural gas)
and zero emission technologies. The SCAQMD has been working with industry and technology leaders, government and academia to coordinate energy, climate and transportation policies that will foster energy security and cost certainty, mobility, job creation and public support for infrastructure. The benefits will go beyond regional air quality improvements. We can make Southern California a center for clean technology and create a globally competitive transportation system that will grow the clean tech markets. We’d like to hear your thoughts. Please stop by SCAQMD’s Booth 614 to meet the staff or join us at one of the Plenary Sessions.
