CULVER CITY, CA — Culver City Council Member Göran Eriksson was named to a National League of Cities committee that helps drive transportation priorities, the league announced this week,

Eriksson has been appointed to the Transportation and InfrastructureFederal Advocacy Committee to serve a one-year term, according to league President Kathy Maness.

“I am honored to be appointed to this important committee and enthusiastic to hit the ground running to develop policy priorities in areas such as fleet electrification and charging systems as well as drone integration and aviation noise,” Eriksson said. “I am especially eager to help shape policy in areas like equity in transportation and the future of revenue and congestion pricing, which impact communities across the nation that might not otherwise be quick to adopt new transportation technology.”

Together with a team of local leaders from around the country, we will work to solve the most pressing challenges facing our communities.”

Closer to home, Eriksson serves on the Culver City Council Mobility Traffic & Parking Subcommittee with Mayor Alex Fisch and on the Ad Hoc LAX Subcommittee with Council Member Albert Vera.
