CALSTART is now Catalyst Mobility. We are a mission-driven industry organization focused on transportation decarbonization and clean air for all.

For over 30 years, it’s been Catalyst Mobility’s mission to develop, assess, and implement large-scale, zero-emission transportation solutions to mitigate climate change and support economic growth.

• Support relationship management and strategy development with key program funders, coalition leaders, and aligned national campaign partners.
• Contribute to grant proposals, narrative reporting, and funder communications in collaboration with Catalyst Mobility’s development team.
• Represent Catalyst Mobility at designated public events, coalition meetings, and conferences as a subject matter specialist in equitable electric mobility.
