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

This bill requires Massachusetts public fleets (including school buses, municipal vehicles, and state-owned vehicles) to transition to 100% electric vehicles by specific deadlines. It mandates that new light-duty public fleet vehicles be 50% electric by 2027, 75% by 2030, and 100% by 2033. School buses must reach 50% electric by 2030, 75% by 2033, and 100% by 2040. The Commonwealth itself must purchase 100% electric new vehicles for state fleets by 2030, with annual public reporting on progress.
