Getting on the Road to Sustainable Transportation
Margo Tsirogotis Oge, Director, Office of Transportation and Air Quality
U.S. Environmental Protection Agency

Never before has there been such an extraordinary convergence of 
concerns over energy demand, economic security, and global climate 
change. This convergence presents unparalleled opportunities for 
fundamental change in the automotive and fuels technology sectors.  
Efficient, clean, and  low carbon technologies  exist today----the 
national challenge is to move these technologies to the market in 
numbers that matter.  This seminar, delivered by a key federal official 
with lead responsibility for establishing environmental policies for 
the transportation sector, will explore current transportation trends, 
available and emerging vehicle and fuel technologies, and strategies 
for bringing them to market.  Costs and benefits of various technology 
scenarios will be discussed.  A discussion period will follow on viable 
national policy solutions that are at once good for business, that 
enhance our security, and will protect the planet.

Officials from EPA's National Vehicle and Fuels Emissions Laboratory in 
Ann Arbor, MI, will be available to meet with prospective candidates 
interested in current job opportunities with EPA.  Additional details 
will be forthcoming.
