Today, I visited Whatcom Transportation Authority - WTA’s electric bus facility in Bellingham to see how WTA’s new electric buses will help provide cleaner, more reliable transportation options for Washingtonians.

I will continue to push for strong federal investment to put more zero-emission buses on the road.

The Island Regional Transportation Planning Organization is conducting a survey to determine current use and need for electric vehicle charging infrastructure and increase electric vehicle awareness for Island County residents and visitors. This survey is intended to get a sense of the general level of awareness of electric vehicles and their benefits, and to pinpoint locations where charging stations are most desired.

Please submit your responses by November 30, 2020. Please share with your network!

The IRTPO is doing a planning session on opening up the islands to EVSE and EV infrastructure, which is super duper awesome. This means we need to get our stuff together too.

If you would like to be a Board Member of this Association, please comment below.

Imagine you’re at the beach enjoying the waves washing over your feet. That’s when you notice a black-robed figure with a scythe out of the corner of your eye. You take a better look and that’s when you realize it’s the Grim Reaper!
