Civic engagement is for everyone, and voting is one very important way to make your voice heard!
Early voting is underway in parts of Florida, with all 67 counties offering early voting October 24-31. Election Day is November 3rd!
Happy voting, Florida ☀️

High cost of living is squeezing Floridians. Our local governments are taking steps to provide financial relief, like substituting some of their gas-powered vehicles with EVs. That's meant major savings for @CityofTampa where its EV maintenance cost is just *half* of a gas car.
Love seeing innovation like this - pushing clean maritime activities forward. A win for cleaner air and the future of transport! commbank.com.au/articles/new…

🚨 Big news! Beep and @Freebee have officially merged — creating the essential transit partner for modern mobility, serving 60+ communities and 10M+ riders. 🚐💙

Opening tax-exempt red-dyed diesel to highway vehicles may offer short-term relief, but the diesel supply isn't magically increasing.
Going electric means more predictable costs, more energy choices and power from onsite generation or the local grid. nbcnews.com/business/energy/…

Diesel prices are rising worldwide, but so are electric truck sales! As the 3rd most populated state, we have more trucks moving more goods on our roads.
Electric trucks mean lower fuel and maintenance costs, cleaner air and a stronger freight economy. canarymedia.com/articles/cle…

Where are the savings? Lower fuel economy standards mean more gas consumption. Couple that with high gas prices and American families will now pay more at the pump AND through the health impacts of more pollution.

Florida has 500k+ EVs, but FDOT plans to divert nearly $200M in federal NEVI funds to flying cars (eVTOL) instead of road-based charging. Florida businesses need accessible ground charging now.
Sign ElectrifCo’s letter to keep NEVI funds on the road: driveelectricflorida.org/pos…
The EV market charges on! Florida ranks #2 in the nation for registered EVs - but we still need public charging stations to keep up.

Beep beep! Congrats to @RepublicService on deploying an all-electric fleet in Coconut Creek, Florida! A big win for our communities, cleaner air and local budgets! wastetodaymagazine.com/news/…
report says Florida ranks eighth in America for demand for public EV charging infrastructure, with over 15 EVs for every one public charger in the state. bocaratontribune.com/bocarat…
Florida has a charging infrastructure problem. There are 15+ registered EVs for every one public charger in the state.
That’s why NEVI funding should be used as intended: for on road EV charging.
Florida’s EV market is growing fast, but our charging network needs to keep pace.
With some of the most congested EV chargers in the country, expanding reliable charging infrastructure will be critical to supporting continued EV growth across the state.

🚨Action Alert!🚨 Urge the Florida Department of Transportation to pump the brakes on the diversion of nearly $200 million in federal electric vehicle charging funds toward infrastructure for electric vertical takeoff and landing (eVTOL). actionnetwork.org/letters/ke…

NOx can cause asthma, respiratory conditions and heart conditions, but biodiesel has the same NOx tailpipe emissions as diesel.
Electric school buses have zero tailpipe emissions — that’s why they’re the only #CleanRideForKids.

Back to school in cleaner, quieter and safer rides! Congrats to Durham School Services and Duval County for rolling out 26 new electric school buses! youtube.com/watch?v=goasUuON…
Florida still has communities left behind on EV charging, especially low-income, rural & multifamily.
So why redirect ~$198M in federal funds toward aircraft carrying 1–4 passengers?
Who stands to really benefit?
Column: Instead of spending millions the feds handed over for more EV chargers, #Florida officials want to focus on...flying cars! My latest for the @FLPhoenixNews also features shout-outs to George Jetson, Bruce Willis and the end of "Grease." floridaphoenix.com/2026/08/0…
