“In Silicon Valley, working with Joint Venture Silicon Valley on Beyond Gasoline initiative.”

“Form 990EZ, Part III, Primary Exempt Purpose: To improve climate, health and equity by accelerating the switch from gasoline and diesel to cleaner alternatives.Form 990EZ, Part III, Line 28: Coltura built a coalition of more than 40 organizations to support passage of Zero Emission Vehicle (ZEV) legislation in Washington State. The coalition included environmental, health, utility, business, and other groups. Coltura wrote op-eds, developed a communications infrastructure, and otherwise built strong support for the legislation. Prior to Coltura getting involved in 2019, the legislation had failed to pass on numerous occasions. Colturas policy research and development program published two law review articles on state vehicle electrification mandates and on regulation of gas stations. The policy research on state vehicle electrification mandates supported introduction of a state vehicle electrification mandate bill in Washington State, and started a buzz in the clean car policy community over the states ability to take greater control over its clean car future. The gasoline policy paper was published in the Environmental Law Reporter and has supported gas station moratorium and related policies in numerous cities and is supporting campaigns to prevent construction of new gas stations. Coltura initiated the Beyond Gasoline project in Silicon Valley with another nonprofit, Joint Venture Silicon Valley. The purpose of the program is to cut gasoline consumption in Silicon Valley by 50% by 2030. The project has already helped galvanize attention around gasoline in the Silicon Valley, and has already caused the California Energy Commission to improve their reporting on gasoline sales throughout California.”
