ROLLING OUT<br />

BIG, CLEAN VEHICLES<br />

Fossil-fueled garbage trucks, buses, semis and cargo haulers are<br />

extreme polluters on wheels; their exhaust harms our lungs and<br />

heats the planet. This year we helped organize several events in key<br />

Northwest communities featuring big clean vehicles and showing<br />

why our legislatures and local leaders need to invest in cleaning<br />

them up. For example, in both August and October we co-hosted<br />

“clean vehicle showcases” in both Tacoma, WA and Wenatchee, WA.<br />

The events featured electric transit<br />

buses operated by the local transit<br />

agency, electric school buses,<br />

hydrogen fuel cell semi trucks, a<br />

hydrogen refueling trailer, electric<br />

garbage trucks, and electric<br />

passenger trucks. Elected officials<br />

and local businesses were excited<br />

to learn about the opportunities<br />

that clean transportation provides<br />

to the local economy.
