September 18, 2020- Next week Sustainable Resilient Longmont (SRL) will celebrate National Drive Electric Week, as part of a nationwide event. Electric vehicle drivers and enthusiasts will participate in a vehicle motorcade down Main Street, and state and local leaders will speak at a webinar to highlight the clean-air benefits and cost-savings of electric cars. We are excited to announce the following events:
The EV Solution:
How Electric Vehicles combat climate change while promoting affordability and equity
September 24th
6:00-8:00 p.m.
Via Zoom Webinar. Register here: https://us02web.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_zFmSurz3TiCfSSTWM5aW1w
EV Motorcade
Saturday, September 26th
5:00-6:00 p.m.
Begins at: Roosevelt Park SE Parking Lot at 5:00 p.m.
Route: From Roosevelt Park the motorcade will head South on Main St, then U-turn at 3rd Ave, back North on Main St.
To participate in the motorcade and for more information: http://www.srlongmont.org/events.html
In addition to these events, Sustainable Resilient Longmont is advocating for the Longmont City Council to pass a GoEV Cities Resolution. Carbon pollution from transportation makes up more than one third of total emissions and is the single largest contribution to pollution in Colorado. This resolution would declare Longmont a GoEV City and pledge to develop a Transportation Electrification Plan with implementation strategies.
