Join us in reducing stigma and celebrating recovery in our community! Take a look at some of the words we can use to help reduce stigma.

If you or someone you know is feeling alone and have thoughts of suicide, don't remain silent! Talk to someone you can trust.

Volvo LIGHTS Project

Reach Out is proud to be part of the award-winning Volvo LIGHTS Project, an innovative project that culminated on August 24, 2022. The project implemented a blueprint for the robust support ecosystem necessary to deploy battery-electric trucks and equipment at scale.

Since its initiation, Volvo LIGHTS (Low Impact Green Heavy Transport Solutions) deployed the first Class 8 pilot Volvo VNR electric trucks to collect data and feedback. During the project, Volvo Group NA collaborated with all its partners to develop programs that identified ideal routes for electrification, comprehensive dealer support, reliable and cost-effective charging infrastructure, technician training programs, and first responder training programs.

The Volvo LIGHTS Project was led by the Volvo Group North America and California's South Coast Air Quality Management District and partners included: NFI Industries, Dependable Highway Express, TEC Equipment, Shell Recharge Solutions, Port of Long Beach and Los Angeles, Southern California Edison, CALSTART, University of California, Riverside CE-CERT, Rio Hondo College, and San Bernardino Valley College.

Congratulations to the Volvo LIGHTS project team for receiving the 2022 Outstanding Achievement in Sustainability from the Southern California Association of Governments (SCAG) during its 57th Annual Regional Conference and General Assembly.
