Where Are The Buses And Trucks?

The short version:

NY has the most famous electrified transportation system in all of the U.S.A
Although it is off to a good start, it still has a bigger greenhouse footprint in transportation than the U.S as a whole.
NY has a new climate law that is going to help with that, with a white paper for sufficient charging infrastructure submitted in January.
They have forgotten to include buses and trucks in this new law, which include diesel trucks, so not only money impact but health as well.
It will cost them a lot if they don’t do it right and include large charging stations
If they don’t do this right and cost the public their health.

So here is the deal… New York has this all-new climate law that has its transportation going to all-electric, but it has a big flaw……….They forgot to add trucks and busses in this big plan.

If they don’t add trucks and busses in this plan and white paper, it could have a huge impact on not only the greenhouse footprint but also the health of the public. New York has a huge opportunity here. They can’t exactly lead the nation because many other cities have already laid out plans, but they can make a strong statement for vehicle electrification in the public transportation area.

I hope that New York sees this flaw and fixes it before they have to spend huge resources on the outcome.
