California leads the nation on electric school buses deployed!

Thankful that our CA regulators are fighting to protect our kids from dirty air.

Next stop -- let's get these e-school buses powering the grid during summer months & school days!

Another Day, Another Cynical Attempt by the Oil and Gas Industry to Drag Us Back to Dirtier Days We’re stepping in to defend a trio of life-saving rules from a flurry of opportunistic lawsuits

The oil industry is trying to roll back life-saving clean air policies in California that were finalized years ago.

If they succeed millions of Californians will suffer the consequences while oil and gas execs get richer. We’re fighting back.

Electric buses roll into Compton Unified, with hopes for better air quality Federal funding is helping electrify nearly half of the district’s gas-powered school buses, but the fate of funding promised for other schools is unclear under the Trump administration.

“The wheels are turning.…And to take away funding now is to really put a wrench in a lot of that work.”

Two waivers granted! Six more to go. It's time for EPA to grant ALL eight waivers before 2025, including ACF & In-Use Locomotives. People's lives depend on it.

Just about everywhere except the US, future-oriented cities are making huge investments in electric regional rail systems, which connect suburbs and exurbs directly to the city center.

Here’s a list of recent & underway projects—we need more projects like these in the US! 🧵

New Legislation from Senator Ed Markey Lays Tracks for All-Electric Rail Future in the U.S The All Aboard Act would provide $80 billion to expand passenger and high speed rail in the U.S. and $50 billion for a Green Railroad Fund

Shout to @edmarkey.bsky.social for his leadership on the All Aboard Act, which would help the U.S. upgrade aging rail lines with all-electric options, improving mobility while cleaning up our dirty air!
