Got to write this fun blog post highlighting the amazing transition happening now in the school bus fleet. I'm so grateful to support our partners that are building a future of clean air for kids!

"What does it say about a university system touted as one of the Golden State’s best attributes if its intellectual workforce can’t afford to live in the state?"
The @latimes is asking the right questions!

We love to see it 🤩

In 2016, Transformative Climate Communities was just an idea.

Today it is BOLD climate action. Congrats to all the award recipients and best of luck ushering in community led transformative change.

Read our coalition's statement here and below: https://t.co/LUU7RXqcAw

[CARB @AirResources]

$1.2B has supported 1,800 #zeroemission school buses. More than 560 of those already are on California roads & 327 are in state’s most pollution-burdened communities. Clean buses 🚍protect children who are particularly vulnerable to #airpollution impacts.
#environmentaljustice

[Alliance for Electric School Buses @alliance4esb]

Due to OVERWHELMING demand for electric school buses, @EPA's Clean School Bus Program will award $965 million this fall to school districts in all 50 states. Over⚡️90%⚡️of bus requests were for electric.

A #CleanRide4Kids is coming to your community!

BREAKING: @GovKathyHochul announces that New York will follow California in mandating 100% zero-emissions for new vehicles by 2035

[United Farm Workers @UFWupdates]

Gov. Newsom has signed #AB2183.
Sí, se puede.

Excited to share that I'm starting my Master's of Urban and Regional Planning today @UCLALuskin (with a focus on Transpo, of course 😉)! #GoBruins

🧵In Houston, freeway widening will demolish hundreds of homes in the primarily Black & Latino neighborhoods Independence Hts. & Near Northside, building on decades of the gov't using highway construction to segregate cities & destroy communities of color.

[U.S. Energy Foundation @EnergyFdn]

Electric school buses are rolling onto streets in communities all across the U.S., with over 12,000 such buses committed in 38 states—and more to come. Alexandria Florin on the EF Clean Transportation team shares the details in our latest blog post. https://t.co/L430rnTMuu

[Clean Cars Campaign @RoadToCleanCars]

‼️ Today @AirResources will vote on #ACCII and take a critical step toward addressing CA's air quality by making #EVs more accessible! #EVsSaveLives

[Alexandria Florin @alexflorin_env]

🥲 crying in the club over the thought of an all-electric future in my state 🥲

[The New York Times @nytimes]

Breaking News: California detailed a sweeping ban on the sale of new gasoline cars by 2035, a move that could speed a global transition to electric vehicles. https://t.co/VUsAQbVlgP

[Alexandria Florin @alexflorin_env]

Huge win for the advocates holding these companies accountable! 👏

[Yasmine Agelidis @AgelidisYasmine]

You know what's cool? When EMA drops a lawsuit against our air regulators that was a blatant attempt to stand in the way of @AirResources cleaning our air.

Now back to work on getting #zeroemission trucks, trains, ships, buses, and cars ... so we can all breathe clean air.

[Alexandria Florin @alexflorin_env]

I'm thinking of buying my first ever #ebike for getting around town, does anyone have good recommendations for brands or specific bikes?? 👀

[Alexandria Florin @alexflorin_env]

Loving this work from NESCAUM! I especially appreciate the focus on a just and equitable transition to truck + bus electrification. Now let's get some more strong regulations on the books 👏

[NESCAUM @NESCAUM]

The Multi-State Medium- and Heavy-Duty ZEV Action Plan is out! 17 states, DC, and Quebec developed the plan to electrify trucks and buses working through the ZEV Task Force facilitated by NESCAUM.

[Greenlining @Greenlining]

A @ConsumerReports survey finds that more Americans would “definitely” or “seriously” consider an #EV if they were to buy a vehicle TODAY. But where are the cars they want? @AirResources, we can give them more options with a strong, equitable #ACCII. 🚗

When will people start acting like we're in a climate emergency?? Big fuck you to #SCOTUS today - the oil and gas industry continues to keep us all in a chokehold.
