GoEV Cities and Counties: Leading CO toward a 100% electric-powered transportation future

As emissions from gas-powered vehicles pollute our air and warm our planet, cities and counties are leading the way to a cleaner transportation future in Colorado. I joined experts from five GoEV Cities and Counties to highlight strategic policies driving them towards a 100% electric-powered transportation reality.

For many Coloradans, enjoying time outside is a big reason we live in this amazing state, and we simply cannot afford another summer of air pollution like the one we just had.  

Cities and counties are leading the way in cutting air pollution by implementing innovative policies to transition to cleaner, electric-powered transportation across their community. We’ve recognized those communities committed to 100% zero-emission futures as GoEV Cities and Counties.

The timing is critical: technological advances allow us to see that we can have a 100% electric transportation reality.  

The time is now for cities and counties to go big.
