One concern that National brought up was to be careful that this money does not end up going to frackers to mitigate the noxious effects of the diesel engines they use. They are hoping this money goes to projects that realize true ZEV impacts for the longterm.

Thanks Jonathon.
How do we find out what WV is planning to do? How do we promote ZEV's or Zero Emission transportation (walking, biking, etc,) instead of fracking diesels?

Here is the updated link from Mary Lunetta: *VW SETTLEMENT CHAPTER RESOURCES KIT is here https://drive.google.com/drive/u/1/folders/0B8oZDRaT6adjOUxGS3dERGFHNVk*
National's assumption is that WV does not know about the settlement, and it is up to us to present this information to them in a way that is beneficial to all parties. The kit provides several of the tools. I will attempt to get a few transportation people involved on the next webinar that is targeting allies. If this is done correctly, it could potentially create a job for a coordinator, and matching funding. In WV, I believe a good area to target would be mass transit (buses). I am guessing that David Bruffy here in Morgantown would have a strong interest in realizing this.
Biking and walking does not qualify, although, I am going to find out if bicycles retrofitted with ZEV techology would qualify. I asked that question at the webinar, but they did not get to it.
