Get Electric Buses now for the PSTA

The Issue

Electric Buses is an investment that we can make now to make a serious change to Pinellas County's emissions and maintenance costs of its bus system. We need clean air to breathe. Climate change is something that an electric bus system will not contribute to.

How long does Pinellas County have? What can we do? Pinellas County can show the world leadership right now in stopping our own carbon emissions contribution to this coming calamity. PSTA will vote 6/22 on which buses it'll run from here on: diesel or zero emission electric. It's going to be a close vote. Call & email the board - you know some of them - and tell them it's time to start making the switch to electric. Next year may be too late. They're all here at: http://www.psta.net/boardofdirectors.php
