The momentum for a #CleanRide4Kids just keeps building!🚍⚡️ Under @EPA’s new proposed standards for cars, trucks and buses (including school buses!), we would avoid 10 billion tons of CO2 emissions – which is equivalent to nearly *twice* the total U.S. carbon emissions in 2022.
Today, we are proposing the strongest-ever pollution standards for cars and trucks. These proposed standards will accelerate the transition to a clean transportation future and help tackle the climate crisis.

Interest in #ElectricSchoolBus repower technology is growing, as school districts and fleet operators consider accelerating their transition to a zero-emission fleet. We offer some key ESB repower considerations. ⬇️ wri.org/insights/repowering-…

I’m honored to be featured in @NYTimes to raise awareness on loss and damage, calling on developed nations to commit the resources needed to change the lives of billions on the front lines of climate change. Read my op-ed here: ow.ly/uRBV50LAY2c

“This bus symbolizes so much about our collective investment in our future. It is about our investment in our children, in their health, and in their education.” We couldn't agree more with the @VP here -- electric school buses will drive us forward! washingtonpost.com/climate-s…

It's happening....
Last week @EPA announced that due to overwhelming demand for #ElectricSchoolBuses, funding for the Clean School Bus Program's first round would nearly DOUBLE to almost $1 billion! 💰 Learn more, including from our Director @Sue_Gander, in @ElectrekCo. ⬇️ ow.ly/rKLy50KZFV1

What if the US Senate passed an international #climate treaty—a pact so powerful that it could avert nearly 1 degree Fahrenheit of global warming—and nobody noticed? Well, that's exactly what just happened!! @robinsonmeyer explains: theatlantic.com/science/arch…

When it comes to protecting student health + the environment, the evidence is clear: an #ElectricSchoolBus is the best #CleanRide4Kids. Our new piece for @STNMagazine explains why it’s time to put fossil fuel buses in the rear-view mirror. ⬇️ ow.ly/GfhF50KygfH

YOU can fight climate change by embracing your role as a “green citizen.” ✊ 🌳 In @nytimes, learn about how we have the collective power to push local govts + utility regulators in a more sustainable direction, including a switch to a #CleanRide4Kids. ⬇️ ow.ly/63eF50KwaiC
By investing meaningfully in decarbonization and healthy air for kids, the IRA will benefit both our planet & our communities. We’re particularly thrilled to see 💰$1 BILLION 💰 dedicated to replacing polluting heavy-duty class 6 and 7 vehicles with zero-emission models. [2/4]

Congress passed the #InflationReductionAct, the most significant climate legislation in U.S. history that will offer a plethora of benefits for Americans and put the nation within striking distance of its climate goal. Read @DLashof’s statement:
