Description
Westchester County committed $50 million to install more than 750 EV charging ports at 79 sites across 24 municipalities — the largest coordinated EV infrastructure investment in the county's history. Free chargers are already live at the County Center. The bus fleet is getting $122.5 million in upgrades. As the federal government pulls back on clean energy, the county is stepping in. Plus: Peekskill gets a $3M micro transit pilot, NYLCV releases its Westchester policy agenda, and HPN moves forward on terminal modernization.
