Pretty excited, I’m taking the train from Chicago to Kalamazoo to visit a friend this weekend. First time taking my bike on @Amtrak #bikechi ➡️ #bikezoo 
Journey started on the @cta blue line from Jeff park. I forgot how many stairs there were at the Clinton stop lol (4 flights!) but there’s a nice bike path for the last couple blocks to union station!
Arrived early just in case, and got a little ticket for the bike. They announced a delay but then the line started moving and we ended up leaving pretty much right on time anyway! So far so good 😊
1/ DYK? Over 20 million kids ride the bus to school. Almost all of these burn diesel, exposing kids to harmful pollution. But that's changing, & you can help bring a #CleanRide4Kids to your community.🧵
2/ You can help bring electric school buses to your community by encouraging your school district to apply for @EPA's Clean School Bus funding. The application portal is open until August 19! epa.gov/cleanschoolbus
3/ Hundreds of school districts have committed to a total of 12,275 #ElectricSchoolBuses,says @WorldResources Institute (WRI). That's 10k more buses than reported in Jan of this year. @ESBInitiative bit.ly/3OM9Cer
Chispa AZ's Senior Organizer @ArguetaTeo visited the largest electric school bus fleet in the country last month, check out what he learned here! #CleanRide4Kids lcv.org/article/future…
@ArguetaTeo "Our community-led programs are proof that our grassroots efforts are paying off. If we continue to engage and support our students, parents, and community, then we will be on a path to converting dirty diesel buses to clean electric buses across Arizona."
"We know that with your continuous support, together, as a community, this pilot program will be replicated throughout the state." 👏🏾⚡️
