Electric transportation uses electricity instead of gasoline to run. This helps clean the air and reduce pollution. 

Electric vehicles (EVs) include any vehicle that runs on electricity. There are many types of EVs, such as cars, buses, trucks, electric bikes, and scooters. 

Micromobility options include electric bikes (e-bikes) and scooters. They're great for short trips and running errands.

I’ve owned an EV for 13 years. Driving an EV is fabulous. I never have to worry about filling my tank while I’m out or taking it in for maintenance. And, they’re just super fun to drive. Driving with regenerative braking is safer and makes driving more fun! It significantly improves the handling of the car. Plus, it’s fun to drive downhill and watch your range go up as electricity goes back into your battery!” - Mary Matteson Bryan, P.E., Cool Earth, Secretary, Board of Directors
