Jersey Renews Urges the Passage of S2252/A4829

With A Day of Action for Electric Vehicles

On Monday, November 25, Jersey Renews is hosting a lobby day to urge legislators to pass the electric vehicle bill S2252/A4819. With nearly 50% of greenhouse gas emissions coming from the transportation sector, a majority coming from light-duty vehicles like the standard family car, passing this bill is foundational to New Jersey’s electrification work.

This day of action will promote a just transition to an electrified transit system emphasizing access to electric vehicles and infrastructure, improving public transit, and ensuring good-family sustaining jobs. Speakers from labor, environment, and faith communities will discuss the need to electrify buses and other public transport.

Speakers will include:

Assemblyman Daniel Benson

Assemblyman Nancy Pinkin (invited)

Assemblyman John McKeon (invited)

Debra Coyle McFadden, Executive Director, New Jersey Work Environment Council

Doug O’Malley, Director, Environment New Jersey

Amy Goldsmith, State Director, Clean Water Action

Rev. Ronald Tuff, Director of Energy Services, GreenFaith

Jeff Tittel, Executive Director, New Jersey Sierra Club

Organized By:

Jersey Renews, a broad-based coalition of labor, faith, community and environmental organizations.
