Course summary
While heavy duty vehicles contribute to air pollution, less attention is often given to the ports where these vehicles originate. Join ANHE for a discussion about ports, emissions and health outcomes, especially as they relate to the potential policies and actions of the new administration.
Join speaker Regina Hsu, Senior Attorney in Earthjustice’s California Regional Office, where she works on the Right to Zero campaign. Regina primarily works to accelerate transportation electrification in California and nationwide. Much of her work centers on electrifying the goods movement industry and reducing pollution at the San Pedro Bay Ports, the largest port complex in the United States and single largest stationary source of pollution in the Los Angeles region.
