S 2218 Massachusetts Senate · 193rd Legislature (2023-2024)

An Act setting deadlines for school bus and public fleet electrification, and programs to encourage electrification of private fleets

This bill establishes specific deadlines for Massachusetts to transition its public school bus and fleet vehicles to electric power. It requires that 50% of public fleets be electric by 2025, 75% by 2030, and 100% by 2035, while prioritizing vehicles serving environmental justice communities. The legislation also creates programs to encourage private fleet owners to adopt electric vehicles through goals and incentives set by state agencies. Emergency vehicles are explicitly excluded from these electrification requirements.
