Last month, the state released a map of where it hopes to place EV chargers using the money from the federal infrastructure law with more than half in "disadvantaged communities." But the Indiana Alliance for Equity, Diversity and Inclusion for Electric Vehicle Infrastructure and Economic Opportunities said few of those communities were racially or ethnically diverse.
It also asked U.S. Secretary of Transportation Pete Buttigieg to tour places where it said the chargers should be placed and see what opportunities it could open up for those communities.
For the first time, the alliance of faith-based leaders in Omaha has a female president. Reverend Portia Cavitt stepped into the role during a service at the Clair Memorial United Methodist Church.
