Transportation policymakers face a critical dual challenge: electrifying the nation's vehicle fleet and establishing a stable funding source. As the U.S. shifts to electric vehicles, the traditional reliance on motor fuel taxes is unsustainable, necessitating new models like mileage fees or carbon taxes.

This vital discussion features U.S. Secretary of Transportation Pete Buttigieg, Senator Alex Padilla, and other experts. The program is supported by the Mineta Transportation Institute at San José State University.

Andrew J. McElrone is a Plant Physiologist with USDA-ARS and an Adjunct Associate Professor in Viticulture and Enology at the University of California, Davis. He previously served as Director of the USDA California Climate Hub.

His research, titled "The Answer Was Blowin’ in the Wind," details the transformation of surface renewal into a commercially viable irrigation management tool. This innovation provides an accurate method for measuring crop evapotranspiration (ET).

Adam Davis of Ecosystem Investment Partners believes that, based on his experience, big business and environmental groups can achieve mutual benefits.
