Municipal Electric Vehicle Readiness Toolkit Series: Transit Buses
November 19, 2020 @ 1:00 PM - 2:00 PM
The Municipal EV Readiness Toolkit 12-Week Program Module 10: Transit Buses will help transit districts, Energy Task Force Members, sustainability departments, and ECD Commission members learn how to electrify their fleets and develop town-wide, comprehensive electrification plans to reach 30% electric by 2030.
We encourage all course participants to join us for Module 10 and learn how through the modules will work together to support and develop an individualized, town-wide, transportation electrification plan.
Your leadership is essential to this process. We appreciate you taking time out of your day to participate and join the 2020 Municipal EV Readiness Toolkit Cohort.
