Black Coloradans and Clean Transportation: Your Voice Matters

Your input can help guide future programs and investment that reflect community needs and priorities.

The State of Colorado and EVNoire want to hear about your transportation needs and your views on electric vehicles and other electric transportation options. All perspectives are welcome—no EV ownership or knowledge is needed.

About the study

Why this research matters

The State of Colorado and EVNoire are working to better understand the transportation needs, experiences, and perspectives of Black residents in Colorado focused on Metro Denver, Aurora, and Colorado Springs for this first phase of research. Your input can help guide future programs and investment that reflect community needs and priorities.

We want to hear about your everyday transportation experiences. What does it cost to get around? What challenges do you face getting to work, school, medical appointments, or other destinations? What questions or concerns do you have about electric transportation?

Eligibility

Who can participate?

01People that identify as Black or African American, including as part of a multiracial identity.
0221 years of age or older Black Coloradans.
03Those who live in Metro Denver, Aurora, or Colorado Springs.

You do not need to own a car, drive an electric vehicle, or have any knowledge of electric mobility. Whether you drive, ride public transit, walk, bike, or rely on others for transportation, your experience matters.

We welcome people who are interested in electric transportation, have concerns about it, or do not see it meeting their needs. There are no right or wrong answers. We want your honest perspective.
