In 2018, NEMA formed the Transportation Systems Division to broaden its role in the movement of goods and people in safe, cyber-secure, and efficient ways. Member companies are well positioned to play a leading role in the electrification of America’s transportation system, which accounts for 25 percent of total U.S. energy use.

The Division is planning government advocacy and technical activities for 2019. To learn more, contact Steve Griffith, industry director for the NEMA Transportation Systems Division, at steve.griffith@nema.org.
