TRC Companies, Inc. (TRC)<\/a>, Breathe Southern California<\/a> has presented its 2025 Breath of Life Award<\/em> to Cliff Gladstein, a nationally recognized environmental advocate and founding president of Gladstein, Neandross & Associates (GNA), for his decades of leadership in accelerating the adoption of clean fuels and zero-emission technologies. The award was presented on May 13 at the SLS Hotel Beverly Hills during the organization\u2019s gala celebrating its 122-year legacy of advancing clean air through research, education, and advocacy.<\/p>\n

Gladstein, whose firm was acquired by TRC Companies in 2023, now serves as a senior leader on the Clean Transportation Solutions team at TRC<\/a>, continuing to guide nationwide efforts to reduce emissions from the commercial transportation sector.<\/p>\n

\u201cCliff Gladstein is extremely deserving of being named our Breath of Life Award\u00ae recipient,\u201d said Marc Carrel, President & CEO of Breathe Southern California, the nonprofit organization presenting the honor.\u00a0 \u201cCliff is a pioneer in the clean transportation and clean energy industries and was involved before most people knew what alternative fuels and EVs were. The world of transportation and energy has changed dramatically since the 1990s and many of those changes wouldn\u2019t have happened if it were not for\u00a0the leadership and hard work of Cliff Gladstein.\u00a0 He pushed policymakers and vehicle makers to understand the benefits of transitioning to cleaner cars, trucks, buses, ships and aircraft.\u00a0 That has made our air cleaner and our families healthier.\u201d<\/p>\n

In 1993, Gladstein founded Gladstein, Neandross & Associates (GNA), then known as Gladstein & Associates (G&A), to accelerate the deployment of low- and zero-emission vehicles, ultra-low carbon fuels, and infrastructure for commercial transportation. That work continues at TRC, where Gladstein\u2019s team has managed more clean fleet deployment projects than any other firm in North America, facilitated the development of some of the world\u2019s largest alternative fuel corridors, and secured more than $2 billion in grants and funding for clean transportation projects. The team has also created leading educational conferences to help fleets and stakeholders navigate the transition to sustainable transportation solutions.<\/p>\n
