Now that we have commitments to electrify buses and decarbonize transportation, we need a CFS to help fleets transition cost-effectively and to ensure clean fuels and vehicles go to the communities that most need them! Bravo @nylcv and @julietighe17
Adopting a clean fuel standard in New York will accelerate our transition away from fossil fuels toward electric vehicles and other renewable fuels by shifting more than $1 billion towards clean transportation.

We agree with @greenwatchdogNY on most environmental issues impacting New Yorkers, but they are wrong for opposing a Clean Fuel Standard for many reasons #thread.

California’s low carbon fuel standard is creating opportunities for heavy-duty electric trucks to meet freight hauling needs while reducing emissions. Adopting a CFS would create similar opportunities to clean the transportation sector here in NY. More: bit.ly/39qLHSv

Want to get more EVs on the road? A clean fuel standard can help us get there faster

California #EV buyers have received an instant price reduction under the Clean Fuel Reward program, which is funded by the state’s clean fuel standard. NYers deserve a clean fuel standard to make EVs more affordable. Read more: bit.ly/3PoA0wn

By adopting a clean fuel standard, as proposed in the Senate one-house, we can accelerate our transition to #EVs and help build the necessary infrastructure to support the electrification of NY’s transportation sector. Read more: bit.ly/3imV2fb

To hit our climate targets and get off fossil fuels, a #cleanfuelstandard is critical - the CA CFS cut 5B gallons of fossil fuels in 2019 & '20. Thank you @SenatorParker and @toddkaminsky for your leadership & the @NYSSenate for including the CFS in the proposed 1-house budget!

We applaud the Senate for taking the first step toward removing harmful fossil fuels from our transportation sector by including a CFS in their proposed one-house budget. Thank you @SenatorParker and @toddkaminsky for prioritizing clean transportation! bit.ly/34Kynqd

If you aren't for a clean fuel standard, you are for fossil fuels. Thanks to a CFS, California reduced fossil fuel use by 5 BILLION gallons in 2019 and 2020 alone.
Thank you @kevinparkernyc @toddkaminsky and many others for fighting to clean up the transportation sector

The number of Americans who feel passionately about climate change is rising sharply, and the issue appears likely to play a more important role in this year’s election than ever before, a new survey shows.

Huge win for our friends @AirResources in California - @NYSDEC, will NYS be next?
27 Jun 2020
California has adopted the nation's first electric truck standard, requiring trucks to go emissions-free by 2045. This is a big victory for #climatechange and for clean air, especially in communities that have long suffered from freight emissions. nytimes.com/2020/06/25/clima…

We’ve all had a breath of #cleanair this spring. Vote for candidates who will strengthen, not weaken, clean air rules.

After this shock of clean air, what do people want? More clean air. A survey in 5 countries finds huge support for stricter air quality rules. nyti.ms/30YYsgY

Big news from @NYSGovCuomo @NYSDEC: Williams pipeline rejected again. Growing potential of #RenewableEnergy #EnergyStorage #CLCPA = No Pipeline...

NEW: Big decision from @NYGovCuomo's @NYSDEC rejects the Williams pipeline project that was proposed to supply gas to Long Island. Cites water quality (clams!) AND, significantly, emissions and the state's sweeping climate law enacted last year. Story TK

Big need for people who want to walk and ride safely in our cities. Can #NYCDOT follow (and beat) this example during #NYCLockdown?

Oakland, California to convert 74-miles, or 10% of city streets, to Neighborhood #OpenStreets to allow residents more space to walk, bike and run safely through their neighborhoods. @AlexHMcBride #OaklandSlowStreets @LibbySchaaf
