Bronxville is making an impact – but we still have more ground to cover!
In 2018, according to the US Dept of Energy, NY State emitted 83.3 million metric tons of CO2 from all forms of transportation; that was 47% of overall emissions.
According to NYSERDA’s EValuateNY tool, there are 599 electric vehicles registered in zip code 10708 as of 7/15/24. Not all of these are new purchases. Some may be vehicles owned by people who have just moved to the area. The purchase of more EVs will help New York State’s goal of reducing emissions 40% by 2030.
If you purchase an EV after October 21, 2023, or are thinking of purchasing an EV, please notify the Bronxville Green, so that we can chart and share our EV campaign progress with Clean Energy Communities, a program of the New York State Energy Research & Development Authority (NYSERDA). With your help, Bronxville may qualify for a grant to support sustainable programming. Contact us at bxvgreencommittee@gmail.com
