Clean transportation advocacy and market acceleration nonprofit
CALSTART operates a nonprofit focused on clean transportation innovation and policy since 1992, with active programs spanning technology development, market adoption incentives, and regulatory advocacy. The org is scaling marketing and engineering capacity simultaneously—hiring across both functions suggests a shift toward digital-first program delivery and analytics infrastructure, reinforced by a Salesforce nonprofit cloud migration underway.
