ZEV momentum in CA is thriving! Nearly 1 in 4 new trucks, buses, and vans sold in CA are zero-emission—putting the state 2 years ahead of schedule. This is more than double the minimum requirement for 2024 and marks the highest total of ZEV sales ever reported.

Today CARB blasted U.S. EPA’s illegal bid to overturn the 2009 Endangerment Finding—the cornerstone of federal climate responsibility. EPA is ignoring 15+ years of its own science & putting millions of lives at risk. When EPA falters, CA stands tall for science & clean air. ➡️ bit.ly/4gECFjx

🍂 Fall in California brings cooler mornings—but also peak wildfire danger. Dry conditions + strong winds + low humidity = dangerous fire weather. ✅ Pack a go-bag ✅ Review your evacuation plan ✅ Avoid sparks during #RedFlagWarnings Prepare now: ReadyForWildfire.org #CALFIRE #Wildfires #Preparedness

Transportation is the largest source of climate pollution in CA—but every ZEV on the road means cleaner air, healthier communities, and progress toward our climate goals.

I’m closing out my time as Chair with great satisfaction knowing we are on a steady path to carbon neutrality with the future of the cap-and-trade (now cap-and-invest!) program secured and in the hands of CARB’s talented and capable team.

I am incredibly proud to have been part of today’s historic bill signing and grateful to the governor and legislative leaders for their tireless commitment to California’s climate leadership. ➡️ bit.ly/46eEX5k
