Climate Mayors’ EV Purchasing Collaborative Recruits 127 Cities to Purchase Over 2100 EVs by 2020

Collaborative platform announces plans for new national solicitation to add school buses, new purchases will cut annual gas usage by up to 1 million gallons

HONOLULU, HI – (June 27, 2019) –Today, at the second-annual Climate Mayors Summit in Honolulu, Hawaii, the Climate Mayors Electric Vehicle Purchasing Collaborative (“the Collaborative”) announced that more than 127 cities and 15 counties from across 38 states including the District of Columbia have joined the Collaborative and committed to purchasing more than 2100 electric vehicles (EVs) by the end of 2020.  

By transitioning to EVs, cities are leading by example: helping to cut greenhouse gas emissions that are warming the planet, saving taxpayer money, improving public health, and reducing our nation’s dependency on oil. With 127 cities committing to the Collaborative, by the end of 2020 the EV commitments have the potential to:

• Cut gas usage by up to 1 million gallons each year;

• Transition to electric up to 25 million miles driven each year; and

• Add more than $75 million in purchasing power to the electric vehicle market[1].

As part of Climate Mayors’ commitment to grow participation and offerings in the Collaborative, its procurement partner, Sourcewell, will be releasing a new national solicitation for electric school buses by the end of the year, enabling all electric school bus manufacturers to participate and become readily available for any public school system to access at competitive prices. The Collaborative will continue to expand in the future, including to transit buses and other vehicle types. With more than 470,000 school buses operating across the country, transitioning to electric school buses creates a big opportunity to make it easier for school children across the U.S. to travel on a zero-emission bus.

“Expanding the use of electric vehicles in cities and states is not just good for the environment – it’s good for local economies and the health of residents,” said Climate Mayors’ Founder and Co-Chair Eric Garcetti. “In Los Angeles, moving our fleet away from fossil-fuels to electric has led to lower costs for maintenance, operation, and fueling, all while improving air quality and public health. The continued growth of the Collaborative reflects the commitment and leadership of cities across the country to address climate change – but we can’t stop here. This initiave has to reach into every city across the country. I urge my fellow mayors to embrace the future and drive electric.”

“The electrification of Honolulu’s city and bus fleets will go a long way in making our island more sustainable and resilient in the face of the current climate crisis,” said Honolulu Mayor Kirk Caldwell. “However, it will also improve the natural environment for our residents and visitors by eliminating smoky exhaust fumes and noise pollution from our communities. By coming together under one umbrella with this EV Collaborative, mayors across the country are increasing the purchasing power of taxpayers while also showing love for Mother Nature.”

“Cities across the country are demonstrating critical leadership by committing to transition their fleets to electrification - reducing our dependence on oil, while also improving our nation’s health, and our economic, and national security,” said Ben Prochazka, Vice President of the Electrication Coalition. “We hope other mayors around the country will see this as a call to action and plug their fleets into the Climate Mayors EV Purchasing Collaborative.”

In agreeing to purchase electric vehicles through the Collaborative, public agencies gain access to competitively solicited electric vehicles and charging infrastructure, as well as innovative leasing options that allow cities to reduce EV costs by accessing state and federal tax credits. The Collaborative also provides support with analysis and best practices for fleet electrification to cities as they consider switching to electric.

With support from Bloomberg Philanthropies, the Collaborative is working with the American Cities Climate Challenge, a group of 25 of the largest U.S. cities who are pursuing ambitious goals to cut emissions and fight climate change from the bottom-up. American Cities Climate Challenge cities represent about 700 vehicles of the commitment.

Launched in September 2018, the Collaborative is a partnership between Climate Mayors, the Electrification Coalition, and Sourcewell, a national transit fleet transition program that works with cities and other public agencies to accelerate the electrification of national ground transit fleets. The Collaborative provides technical expertise to purchasers and a program that reduces the costs and barriers to electrifying fleets.

279 Climate Mayors across the United States now committed to adopting the Paris agreement goals in their cities

LOS ANGELES — In the week following the President's decision to withdraw the U.S. from the Paris Climate Agreement, 279 Climate Mayors — a group Mayor Garcetti helped establish in 2014 — have pledged to support the goals of the agreement in their cities. When the President announced the withdrawal on June 1, 61 Climate Mayors expressed their support for the agreement. One week later, the number of Climate Mayors has more than quadrupled, now representing nearly one in five Americans.

Mayor Garcetti and the Climate Mayors have strongly opposed the Administration’s decision to leave the Paris Agreement, committing to uphold its standards in their own cities. “Last week, mayors from both Democratic and Republican cities across America united to say ‘Enough’ — we will not allow inaction at the highest level to jeopardize the future of our world,” said Mayor Garcetti. “Now, mayors from every part of our nation are joining the call to action, uniting to continue the fight against climate change in our cities.”

The Climate Mayors now include nine of the 10 largest cities in America — New York, Los Angeles, Chicago, Houston, Philadelphia, Phoenix, San Diego, Dallas, and San Jose — along with hundreds of additional cities, large and small, from Boston to Knoxville to Miami, across red and blue states. In total, the 279 Climate Mayors now represent 59 million Americans from 42 states.

“This is a top priority for the people of Boston and for all Americans,” said Boston Mayor Martin J. Walsh. “We witness the impacts of climate change every day — extreme heat, flooding, and worsening health issues. It's our duty to act, and I'm proud to stand among the increasing number of Climate Mayors fighting for our residents.”

"We believe that Miami is the epicenter for climate change and sea level rise,” said Miami Mayor Tomas Regalado. “Now more than ever, we are resolute and will vigorously pursue our commitment to this cause. This is not just about the present, but for future generations."

“Protecting the climate doesn’t mean choosing between our environment and economy,” said Knoxville Mayor Madeline Rogero. “As demonstrated in Knoxville, we can enhance both while improving our community. Despite the president's stance, we will continue to advance our local values by upholding the principles and commitments of the Paris Agreement."

In Los Angeles, Mayor Garcetti has spearheaded efforts to make the city the most sustainable in America. In April 2015, he introduced the city’s first Sustainable City pLAn, a comprehensive roadmap with measurable long-term goals for conserving water, creating green jobs, expanding electric vehicle use, and reducing greenhouse gas emissions. The city is on track to meet 90% of the pLAn’s 2017 goals.

To learn more about Climate Mayors, visit www.climate-mayors.org or engage with them on Facebook, Twitter, and Medium. Mayor Garcetti co-founded the Climate Mayors (also known as the Mayors National Climate Action Agenda, or MNCAA), a network of 289 U.S. cities representing over 62 million Americans, collaborating to enhance local efforts to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and advocate for binding federal and global policies. Earlier this year, Mayor Garcetti led the release of an EV RFI with 30 MNCAA cities to showcase potential demand for over 114,000 electric vehicles, trucks, and equipment for cities. Additionally, Mayor Garcetti serves as Vice Chair of the C40 Cities Climate Leadership Group, an international network of megacities working to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, and has signed the Covenant of Mayors for Climate and Energy.

468 US Climate Mayors commit to adopt, honor and uphold Paris Climate Agreement goals

STATEMENT FROM THE CLIMATE MAYORS IN RESPONSE TO PRESIDENT TRUMP’S WITHDRAWAL FROM THE PARIS CLIMATE AGREEMENT

The President’s denial of global warming is getting a cold reception from America’s cities. As 466 US Mayors representing 74 million Americans, we will adopt, honor, and uphold the commitments to the goals enshrined in the Paris Agreement. We will intensify efforts to meet each of our cities’ current climate goals, push for new action to meet the 1.5 degrees Celsius target, and work together to create a 21st-century clean energy economy. We will continue to lead. We are increasing investments in renewable energy and energy efficiency. We will buy and create more demand for electric cars and trucks. We will increase our efforts to cut greenhouse gas emissions, create a clean energy economy, and stand for environmental justice. And if the President wants to break the promises made to our allies enshrined in the historic Paris Agreement, we’ll build and strengthen relationships around the world to protect the planet from devastating climate risks. The world cannot wait — and neither will we.
