Chicago Area Clean Cities hosts its 17th Annual Golf Outing on Thursday, Sept. 7 at the Maple Meadows Golf Club in Wood Dale. The day will kick off with a free Clean Vehicles Seminar, at which there will be terrific networking. Highlights of the morning program include:

• An update on the $14.7 Billion Volkswagen Settlement, including funding grants to purchase new trucks, buses, vessels, locomotives, and other non-road equipment, and zero-emissions infrastructure.
• An overview of how to charge your plug-in electric or hybrid vehicle more quickly.
• A presentation on DC Fast Charging for plug-in vehicles and fleets.
• Continental breakfast and lunch included.

The seminar will be followed by an afternoon of golf and an early dinner. In addition to learning about the latest about the VW Settlement, the seminar offers commercial and governmental fleets, as well as businesses such as hotels, parking garages, rental-car agencies, valet-parking locations, municipalities, and other organizations a chance to benchmark best practices for charging plug-in vehicles.
