Alternative Fuel Conversion

An interdisciplinary team of students in the Fall semester 2023 Selected Projects in Law, Technology & Public Policy (LT&PP) course at UMKC prepared an initial report on considerations in plans to convert the City of Kansas City, Missouri’s fleet of various types of internal combustion engine vehicles to electric vehicles (EVs) and the Kansas City Area Transportation Authority’s fleet of buses to EVs or other alternative fuels. A Spring semester 2024 interdisciplinary student team in the LT&PP course is expanding that research and building on the Fall Team’s report and next steps recommendations.

Who we are

The CLEI is a vehicle for multidisciplinary collaborators to form and deploy teams that promote the use of entrepreneurship and innovation in providing high-quality education, addressing societal needs with a diversity of knowledge bases and perspectives, and producing thoughtful and effective solutions to generate public good. UMKC’s CLEI is led by the Law School because laws are involved in virtually all challenging endeavors and the Law School emphasizes training context-aware, creative, brave, and generous lawyers to join in teams that are instruments of positive change in communities, businesses, policy, research, and the arts. We exemplify that belief by partnering with leaders from all fields in common missions to make all of the communities we serve more prosperous.
