Influencing Transportation Electrification at the Federal Level

Since its founding, Forth has worked at the national level to ensure federal policy accelerates equitable electric mobility. In recent years, we have helped inform major legislation and investments such as the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act and the Inflation Reduction Act that are steering billions of dollars into electric mobility.
