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

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. nyti.ms/3lLkbki

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 Senator Kevin Parker Todd Kaminsky and many others for fighting to clean up the transportation sector

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 Senator Kevin Parker and Todd Kaminsky for your leadership & the NYS Senate for including the CFS in the proposed 1-house budget!

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

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

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

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 julie tighe
