A Roadtrip through the Benefits of More Stringent Fuel Economy Standards

Thursday, December 20th | 2:00 - 3:00pm ET | REGISTER

Here at Synapse we spread holiday cheer by taking a virtual "roadtrip". On Thursday, December 20th, join us for a webinar starting with the recent hubbub about automobile fuel efficiency standards and ending with a  discussion of the future outlook for transportation systems. We'll review several projects we've done over the past year analyzing the Obama-era standards and the recent proposed rollbacks from EPA. Presenters Jenn Kallay and Jamie Hall will discuss the job increases, GDP gains, and safety benefits from more stringent fuel economy standards.Then we'll discuss future developments like vehicle electrification, ride sharing, and autonomous vehicles. Buckle up, it's gonna be a nerdy ride!
