“By adopting these standards, New Jersey will tap into a huge economic opportunity to mitigate the economic and human costs of the climate crisis and unchecked air pollution while also creating career pathways and high-quality jobs for the local New Jersey residents that are building our clean transportation future,” said Uchenna Bright, E2 Northeastern States Advocate. “Employment in New Jersey’s clean vehicle sector is already growing rapidly – more than 15 percent in 2022 – and if these standards are adopted, that number will skyrocket. Now is the time to capitalize on this momentum, not hold the state back from progress.”
