The Intermountain Western Alternative Fuel Corridor Convening was the fifth and final in a series of regional Convenings sponsored by the Federal Highway Administration. The Convening was held in Salt Lake City, Utah on November 6, 2019 in collaboration with the National Association of State Energy Officials REV West meeting and with more than 75 stakeholders participating. The Convening focused on advancing regional coordination to expand the network of nationally-designated alternative fuel corridors. Participants included representatives from Arizona, Colorado, Idaho, Montana, New Mexico, Nevada, Utah, and Wyoming.
