 30TH ANNIVERSARY OF THE CENTER FOR TRANSPORTATION AND THE ENVIRONMENT

 Mr. WARNOCK. Madam President, today I pay tribute to the 
Center for Transportation and the Environment in Atlanta, GA, on their 
30th anniversary.
  Since 1993, the Center for Transportation and the Environment has 
supported the commercialization of clean and zero-emissions 
transportation technologies that have driven the development of green 
energy economies in Georgia and across the United States. Using its 
engineering and planning expertise, the center has helped connect 
innovative thinkers, create jobs in emerging sectors, and foster energy 
independence over its long and storied history.
  Though the Center for Transportation and the Environment calls 
Atlanta home, it has an extensive national network and imprint. The 
center currently manages 115 zero-emission development and deployment 
projects across 35 States. Over the past 30 years, the center has 
helped more than 300 U.S. companies move their technologies into the 
global energy and transportation mainstream and has supported countless 
cities, transit agencies, airports, municipal entities, and vehicle 
manufacturers as they adopt these technologies and advance our clean 
energy future.
  Recently, the Center for Transportation and the Environment offered 
its unbiased expertise and insight in support of the development of the 
Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act, Public Law 117-58, and 
resulting Low- and No-Emissions Program at the U.S. Department of 
Transportation. Thanks in part to their recommendations, Congress 
delivered the largest infrastructure investment in our Nation's history 
and advanced bipartisan and transformative low-emissions transportation 
policies that will help keep our planet healthy for generations to 
come.
  On their 30th anniversary, I would like to thank the Center for 
Transportation and Environment for their monumental efforts to reduce 
emissions in our Nation's transportation sector and their commitment to 
being a good steward for our planet. I look forward to working with the 
center for another 30 years as we continue to develop green energy 
economies in Georgia and across the country.
