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.

[The Electric School Bus Initiative @ESBInitiative]

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. ⬇️ https://t.co/uo8VtQKx5H

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.

“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! https://t.co/kanzJBtb3u

[The Electric School Bus Initiative @ESBInitiative]

The news this week has made it clear that the #ElectricSchoolBus revolution has begun! In @thehill, WRI US Director @Dlashof and @ESBInitiative Director @Sue_Gander offer their recommendations for how to build on existing momentum.

Excited to join @mcps and @HighlandFleets for their #ElectricSchoolBus ribbon-cutting! On their way to 326 electric buses … and then the whole fleet.

It's happening....

[The Electric School Bus Initiative @ESBInitiative]

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. ⬇️ https://t.co/6b5K5ot42t

[The Electric School Bus Initiative @ESBInitiative]

🚨BREAKING: Today, the @EPA announced it will nearly DOUBLE the amount awarded for the first round of the Clean School Bus Program due to overwhelming interest — and more than 90% of applications are for #ElectricSchoolBuses! 🚍🙌

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

Congrats @arcadia!!

[Arcadia @arcadia]

Now managing: 1 whole gigawatt of #communitysolar capacity! 🌞 We’re thrilled to reach this milestone for the #zerocarbon future & grateful to the developers, policymakers, and partners we work with.

So, watt's it all mean? ➡️ https://t.co/kDoWFg82JQ

[The Electric School Bus Initiative @ESBInitiative]

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. ⬇️

Potential Savings From the IRA

[The Electric School Bus Initiative @ESBInitiative]

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. ⬇️

[Katherine Roboff @kroboff]

@KiranRaju Yes! And, I loved the electric school bus example -- such a good one for local engagement.

[The Electric School Bus Initiative @ESBInitiative]

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.
