Join us on Thursday, Sept. 28, from 11 a.m. – 1 p.m. as we celebrate a significant milestone in the City of Raleigh’s Community Climate Action Plan.

Raleigh is mapping out a “clean transportation” future that involves transitioning from fossil fuels to cleaner alternatives like electric vehicles and renewable propane.
