MHD Zero Emission Vehicle Incentive Survey for Washington

The PNWER RIA is working with CALSTART to conduct a study on behalf of the Washington State Legislature through the Joint Transportation Committee (JTC) to research the “Design of Infrastructure and Incentive Program for Medium and Heavy-Duty Zero Emission Vehicles (MHD ZEVs)”. More information on the project is available on PNWER’s website.

This survey is to better understand participants' thoughts on Zero Emission MHD Vehicle technologies in 2023.

A version of this survey is available in Spanish here.
