As frequent readers of our blog will know, transportation is the largest source of greenhouse gas emissions in Massachusetts. The cars, trucks, and buses on our roads are also responsible for pollution that causes direct and widespread harm to human health – harm that disproportionately impacts low-income communities and communities of color. Right now, there’s something you can do about it: get your legislator to attend an upcoming briefing on bills that will work on these issues!
Right now, there is a slate of bills at the State House that will electrify our transportation, reduce our greenhouse emissions, and clean the air we breathe. The Zero Emission Vehicle (ZEV) Coalition, of which Green Energy Consumers is a member, has organized a legislative briefing next week on these priority bills.
We need your help to get as many legislators to this briefing as possible.
Legislative Briefing: Zero-Emission Vehicle Priority Bills
Date: Tuesday, June 29, 2021
Time: 3:00 – 4:00 PM 
To ask your legislators to join:
Legislators have introduced many bills to do with transportation this session. Most have not yet had hearings scheduled. The ZEV Coalition, a group of advocates working to accelerate the transition to electric transportation, has identified a priority list of bills that span the gamut from electrifying bicycles, light-duty vehicles, trucks, school buses, transit buses, and trains to building out the infrastructure that will be needed to support all this electrification. Here is a fact-sheet listing all the bills. The full list of bills that will be covered is:
These bills will be discussed in detail at Tuesday’s briefing. Attendees will hear from the legislative sponsors as well as workers and members of environmental justice communities. We hope to see your legislators there!
