425 Magazine: City of Redmond Joins Initiative to Electrify Municipal Fleets

Climate Mayors is a bipartisan network of mayors from across the United States committed to climate action. The goal is to electrify at least 50% of municipal fleets by 2030 and increase electric vehicle charging infrastructure by 500% by 2035, with at least 40% of charging investments to benefit disadvantaged communities, a release said. 

"Electrifying municipal fleets and building our charging infrastructure is key to building a green economy in Redmond,” said Redmond Mayor Angela Birney in a press statement. “By investing in sustainable transportation alongside fellow Climate Mayors, we not only reduce emissions, but also lay the foundation for new opportunities for innovation and sustainability in our community.”
