With SB25-161 (Transit Reform) & SB25-030 (Increase Transportation Mode Choice) now signed into law, CO can look forward to better transit & more travel options! Thank you @FaithWinterCO @imanforcolorado.bsky.social @repfroe.bsky.social @govofco.bsky.social! #CODeservesGoodTransit

SWEEP's latest report highlights the $13+ billion in savings that SW drivers will miss out on if Congress repeals the federal EV tax credit. Don't undercut a winning solution for providing better access to cleaner & lower maintenance vehicles! www.swenergy.org/ev-tax-credi...

Thank you @govmlg.bsky.social for signing HB 91 into law, providing a "smart, compassionate solution" for making energy bills more affordable for New Mexicans in need. Congrats to sponsors Rep. Kristina Ortez & Sen. Mimi Stewart for your leadership on this key bill! www.swenergy.org/new-mexico-p...

Coloradans deserve better transportation options! Check out this vision from the Alliance to Transform Transportation for frequent, reliable, convenient and safe public transit in the greater Denver area. www.denverpost.com/2025/03/26/r...

How to regain RTD riders? Transit advocates push $4.2 billion plan to run buses every 15 minutes

“Frequency is the thing people want that brings ridership. This is the best strategy if we want more people using RTD services.”

Thanks to Representatives who defended New Mexico's right to clean air by tabling HB270! This dangerous bill would have rolled back a set of carefully considered standards that reduce health-threatening pollution from vehicle tailpipes. 👏 www.nmlegis.gov/Committee/St...

Great news for resource-stressed families in New Mexico! HB 91 will allow utilities to create a distinct rate for lower-income customers, who frequently struggle to pay heating and cooling bills.

Southwest Energy Efficiency Project (SWEEP)@sweep2001.bsky.social · 2y ago

HB91 passed in New Mexico with a 7-4 vote & is now heading to the House Floor! HB91 gives the PRC authority to approve low-income utility rates for utilities in NM. This will help ensure affordable energy rates for families who need it most, creating a more equitable & sustainable energy system.
