Earlier this year, POTUS signed into law my bill that saved the USPS. I’m not stopping there. W/ our 🌍 under immediate threat from global warming, we need to think BIG.

So I’m thrilled that out of all new postal trucks manufactured, 40% will be electric https://t.co/rHpzcKQuZm

"Gov. regulators & environmental activists had rallied to block the Postal Service from purchasing so many gas-powered trucks... 16 states plus 4 of the U.S.'s top environmental groups sued to stop the contract in April."

We will keep rallying to 100%! 👏https://t.co/FSTNqx9kdQ
Good news! @USPS just announced it's making its next mail truck purchase 40% electric.

Some days there is good climate news: the USPS reversed their crazy position that only 10% of new postal vehicles would be electric, and have upped it to more than 40%. Still not quite where we want to be, but a lot better than next-to-nothing: https://t.co/I4TWeErfFl

nor sky-high ga$ price$ will stop the @USPS from delivering our mail once the fleet is 40% #EV mail trucks!
Kudos to the @EPA & the many groups who pushed to make this happen: @ElectricRoadmap @NRDC @Earthjustice @SierraClub https://t.co/0sh7ojWLNz
USPS will make 40% of its new trucks electric, up from 10% https://t.co/rhbhooeD9Q

Postal Service will get 40% of its new fleet electric, instead of 10% as originally planned. And it looks able to ditch the Oshkosh deal after a minimum 50k vehicle purchase, to solicit bids from like firms that actually make EVs. By @jacobbogage https://t.co/ocIxv5x5Z0

Still absurd. 100% electric is the only sensible choice. https://t.co/0bUlivOeAW

You raised your voice and the Postal Service finally got the message that cleaner vehicles are a win for everyone! This is an important step for lower costs and cleaner air and we’ll keep working until the post office has an electric, union-made fleet.https://t.co/iTqMa58mGS

This is a great step for cleaner air, safer communities, and lower costs.

Onward to an electric fleet!https://t.co/lTEERTg0P9
