  We usually write pieces bemoaning the lack of funding for advanced technology vehicle and transportation programs.

Here's one that might help you get some.

The New York Academy of Sciences and ther Urban Age Insrtitute are co-sponsoring a national "Sustainable City Finance" conference early next year. While a lot of the talk will be about greening municipal buidlings at the like, green transportation will be on the agenda as well, says Gordon Feller, Urgan Age's chief executive.

Feller said the Jan. 7 conference is designed to help businesses, private organizations and governments understand financing initiatives that can help accelerate the greening of our cities and the development of cleaner technologies.

A variety of electric transportation financing  topics will be on the agenda, including at least onee session on electric vehicle charging systems, or, as Feller puts it:

"We'll help conference participants assess the capacity of municipalities and states to finance the transition to electric transport infrastructure - or to partner with private sector firms that want to work with them on structuring the transactions."

You can get more information, and registration forms, at the conference Website.
