On August 27, 2024, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) published a notice of an upcoming public webinar of the Environmental Financial Advisory Board (EFAB). The EFAB is an EPA advisory committee chartered under the Federal Advisory Committee Act to provide advice and recommendations to the EPA on innovative approaches to funding environmental programs, projects, and activities. The purpose of this webinar will be to explore strategies for leveraging Greenhouse Gas Reduction Fund (GGRF) resources to attract private capital investment in zero-emissions transportation projects, with a particular focus on low-income and disadvantaged communities.

The upcoming webinar will be held on September 19, 2024, from 2:00 pm to 3:30 PM ET, and is the second in a three-part series that explores strategies for leveraging GGRF resources to attract private capital into GGRF priority sectors. The first webinar, held on July 30, 2024, addressed Net Zero Buildings projects. No oral public comments will be accepted during this webinar. However, written public comments may be submitted in advance of the webinar and should be received by September 13, 2024. Written comments should be sent via email to efab@epa.gov.
