Governor Jared Polis signed a bill Thursday morning that, among other air-quality initiatives, will allocate $65 million towards transitioning Colorado’s school bus fleet from toxic diesel to zero-emission electric. This investment notably makes Colorado the nation’s leader in per-capita electric school bus investment. Our children deserve to ride to school without a daily dose of toxic pollution. This funding, along with federal funding from the EPA’s Clean School Bus Program, and the Volkswagen Settlement, put Colorado in the fast lane to upgrade its fleet.

Tell the Governor: make all state-owned vehicles electric

State government fleets operate thousands of vehicles, and agencies can use their purchasing power to invest in more electric vehicles. Ask your Governor to lead by example by directing state agencies to purchase electric vehicles.
