100% Electric Buses for L.A.
I urge you to reject the application for 1,000 new CNG buses and instead, transition L.A. Metro's fleet to 100% electric buses and put Southern California residents' health first!
Why is this important?
Every year for the last few decades, Los Angeles has made the list of the top 10 most polluted cities in the United States. But there is a solution!
Electric buses are here and ready — they run on clean, renewable energy with ZERO emissions and very little maintenance, and the new 100% electric buses are made right here in Southern California.
Unfortunately, we know the Los Angeles Metro Board is considering the purchase of 1,000 new dirty gas buses despite the readily available electric buses. It's no surprise that the greedy natural gas industry is behind this and wants to block attempts to clean up our air in order to make a profit.
Electric buses can curb emissions, clean up our air and create good green jobs. We must transition to 100% electric buses for Los Angeles!
