An Act to convert the state government fleet to electric vehicles

This bill requires the Commonwealth of Massachusetts to transition its government vehicle fleet to zero-emission electric cars and trucks. It mandates that the Department of Transportation create a list of vehicles eligible for replacement with electric models and ensures all new purchases or leases from that list must be electric by January 1, 2025. The legislation also directs state agencies to prioritize buying these vehicles for use in underserved and low-income communities. Additionally, the bill tasks the state with developing a plan for installing charging stations across the region and conducting a study to help local municipalities and transit authorities evaluate their own electrification options.
