In the second annual celebration of clean transportation, Bedford 2030 invited community members to step inside the newest electric vehicles, a fully electric school bus and an all-electric Bee-Line bus. Participants also could donate used bicycles for repair, learn from local EV owners, and exchange gas-powered lawn equipment for $100 coupons towards new electric equipment.
“The Clean Ride and Drive expo provides accessible information and actions we can all take to make the switch to clean, fossil-free transportation,” explained Bedford 2030 Program Director Mariah Okrongly. “ 48% of the greenhouse gas emissions polluting our community come from the transportation sector. We need to make changes, big and small, that will result in cleaner, healthier air.”
