The Evolution of Transportation Illuminated at the Green Transpo Expo, Saturday, April 22

by | Events

The Greater Escondido Chamber of Commerce announces the second annual Green Transpo Expo to take place at North County Mall on Saturday, April 22 – Earth Day! – from 9:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m.
Attendees will learn about everything from electric cars, bikes and school buses to EV trends, alternative fuels, and home solar & battery storage. Our entire transportation system is rapidly changing, and this event will help educate guests on what it is all about…and what is coming next!
The event starts with the “Cars & Coffee” meet-up starting at 9:00 a.m., and car enthusiasts and car clubs are invited and encouraged to attend for an inclusive car mashup to merge the past and the future of transportation.
The Mayor of Escondido Dane White and James Rowten (JR), Greater Escondido Chamber CEO, will kick off the Expo with a ribbon cutting at 11:30 a.m. The main event will include an education forum, exhibits, robotics demonstrations and vendors throughout the day. In addition to the Mayor and Rowten, they will be joined by Congressman Scott Peters, Supervisor Jim Desmond and other City, County, and State officials to kick-off and attend the event.
Like last year, an extended educational forum with Q&A will coincide with the event throughout the day, with expert presenters from EVinfo.net, SDG&E, California State University San Marcos (CSUSM), Electric Vehicle Association of San Diego, ALIVE Solar, and more. Electric bikes will also be on hand to test ride.
“People throughout the community, and state, are seeing energy price spikes,” said Rowten. “Now more than ever, people are looking for alternatives to help their wallet and the environment. It can be overwhelming to determine where to start – the Green Transpo Expo can help educate and guide local consumers as to what’s available and how to implement the alternatives.”
A full agenda of the day’s activities, a list of the speakers and topics, online registration, and a comprehensive list of sponsors can be found on the Chamber’s webpage at: www.escondidochamber.org/green-transpo-expo.
