The road ahead for sustainable transportation (21:40) 

Katie Fehrenbacher, senior writer and transportation analyst for GreenBiz, reflects 10 key trends from 2020 that will — or should — shape priorities in the 12 months ahead. Among them: bridge fuels to zero-emissions fleets; the public transit crisis; and what policies are mapping the journey.

Participants considered this question: What’s the most significant way that the events of 2020 changed your job or perspective as a sustainability professional?
