Electric Vehicle Announcement
A
Good
morning
and
welcome
to
madison
park
technical
vocational
high
school,
it's
a
great
time
to
be
in
boston,
it's
a
great
time
to
be
at
madison
park.
This
morning
we
have
the
mayor.
We
have
representatives
from
the
city
and
we're
bringing
a
new
component
to
our
auto
tech
program.
It's
one
of
our
brightest
star
vocational
programs.
Here
at
madison
park.
Electric
cars
are
the
future.
We
have
cars
from
where
I'm
from
the
great
state
of
alabama
from
hyundai
and
so
we're
glad
you're.
B
Good
morning,
everyone
good
morning
good
morning,
I
am
always
excited
it's
always
a
great
morning
when
I
get
to
start
the
day
at
one
of
our
schools
in
boston
and
especially
when
I
get
to
start
the
day
at
madison
park,
I
had
the
chance
to
walk
around
a
little
bit
with
our
incredible
team
leadership
team
here
and
they
gave
they
fed
me.
They
we
stopped
in
the
culinary
program.
B
I
want
to
thank
many
of
our
chiefs
and
leaders
across
city
government,
who
are
here
today,
you'll
hear
from
a
few
of
them,
following
chief
mariama
whitehammond
of
our
energy
environment
and
open
space
cabinet
chief
yasha
franklin,
hodge
of
our
streets
cabinet,
miss
deleverne,
stanislaus,
director
of
transportation
at
boston,
public
schools,
we'll
hear
from
kevin
mccaskill.
Who
knows
this
school
community
very
well
assistant,
superintendent
of
the
office
of
secondary
schools,
for
boston
for
bps,
as
well
as
bill
coughlin?
Who
is
the
director
of
public
works
central
fleet
maintenance?
B
Transportation
represents
the
second
highest
source
of
emissions
across
our
city
and
the
first
highest
source
of
emissions.
If
you
look
statewide,
and
so
our
goal
is
to
not
only
continue
building
out
the
infrastructure,
putting
charging
stations
where
we
can,
on
public
municipal
lots
working
to
set
the
tone
and
lead
by
example,
with
electrifying
our
city
fleet,
but
also
to
build
the
jobs
and
create
the
opportunities
that
we'll
need
to
maintain
and
service
all
of
these
vehicles.
B
So
today
we
are
excited
to
share
that
10
mechanics
from
within
our
city's
organizational
structure
from
the
public
works
department,
from
boston,
police
and
from
boston.
Public
schools
will
be
trained
in
electric
vehicle
service
and
repair
and
certified
to
teach
ev
service
and
repair.
This
will
be
a
train,
the
trainer
model,
because
then
we
will
be
training.
Our
young
people
to
be
able
to
step
into
these
jobs
right
away.
B
B
We're
committed
to
training
our
existing
workforce
in
the
coming
years
to
ensure
that
every
worker,
maintaining
city
vehicles
and
school
buses
is
prepared
for
boston's,
green
future
boston,
public
schools
and
the
environment
department
will
also
be
working
together
on
what
I
am
very
very
excited
about
that
we're
going
to
tackle
one
of
the
most
immediate
ways
that
we
can
reduce
pollution
in
our
communities
make
life
healthier
for
our
young
people
and
our
school
communities,
which
is
by
moving
towards
electrification
of
our
school
bus
fleet.
B
In
the
2022-2023
school
year,
boston
public
schools
will
deploy
up
to
20
electric
school
buses
in
a
pilot
program
so
that
we
can
understand
the
exact
needs
for
charging
infrastructure
for
the
routing
and
for
the
maintenance.
This
month,
we'll
be
issuing
an
rfi
request
for
information.
The
first
step
to
secure
the
proposals
for
electric
school
bus
for
school
bus
electrification
to
replace
our
existing
diesel
buses.
B
B
C
So
it's
really
good
to
be
here.
I
was
born
and
raised
in
roxbury
and,
as
I
have
been
able
to
serve
under
the
mayor,
we
are
facing
the
reality
that
climate
change
is
not
something
happening
in
the
future.
It's
happening
now.
Even
currently,
our
staff
are
preparing.
We
hope
there
are
not
a
lot
of
heat
waves
this
summer,
but
the
reality
is
given
the
life.
What
we've
seen
in
the
past?
C
It
only
makes
sense
for
us
to
begin
to
prepare,
and
so
I'm
really
glad
to
be
here
today
in
madison
park
a
place
I
spend
some
time
I
do
wish
we
would
bring
back
the
battle
of
the
cheerleaders.
I
do
want
to
say
that
that
was
a
big
event
here
at
madison,
when
I
was
a
kid
growing
up,
but
it's
good
to
be
here
and
to
see
young
folks
who
are
going
to
be
trained.
I
actually
own
an
electrical
vehicle
and
I
have
to
drive
pretty
far
out
of
boston
to
get
it
serviced.
C
I
would
much
rather
see
it
serviced
right
here
in
my
own
community
by
young
people
who
grew
up
in
the
same
neighborhoods
that
I
did,
and
so
the
environment
department
is
excited,
we're
excited
about
the
mayor's
leadership.
She
has
hit
the
ground
running
and
made
some
things
happen,
and
I
also
want
to
take
this
opportunity
to
acknowledge
quickly.
Our
executive
director
of
our
youth,
green
jobs
program,
you'll,
hear
a
little
bit
more
about
that
in
may.
We're
really
excited
that.
Madison
park
has
been
a
part
of
that
conversation,
but
we're
really
looking
at
that.
C
Climate
change
is
yes,
it
is
a
threat,
but
it's
also
a
real
opportunity
and
green
jobs
create
opportunities
for
our
young
people,
not
just
to
have
any
old
kind
of
job,
but
to
have
jobs
at
the
front
edge
of
the
cutting
line
technology.
That's
going
to
transform
our
world
and
transform
our
economy,
so
I'm
looking
forward.
C
I
I'm
not
a
mechanic
myself,
but
I
look
forward
to
coming
to
seeing
and
to
being
able
to
get
to
the
point
where
we
see
our
city
vehicles
and
our
individual
electric
vehicles
not
go
somewhere
else
outside
of
the
city,
but
be
serviced
right
here
by
our
own.
So
thank
you
all
for
being
here
and
really
excited
about
this
opportunity.
E
Good
morning,
everybody
so
I'm
yasha
franklin,
hodge,
I'm
chief
of
streets
for
the
city
of
boston,
I
oversee
the
city's
public
works
and
transportation
departments
and
to
echo
some
of
the
things
we've
heard
from
the
mayor
and
from
the
chief
you
know.
We
know
that
climate
change
is
real.
We
got
a
report
this
week
from
the
ipcc
once
again
telling
us
what
we've
known
for
a
long
time
that
this
is
urgent
and
that
the
window
of
opportunity
to
address
climate
change
is
rapidly
closing
and
so
in
a
city
like
boston.
E
E
So,
if
we're
going
to
take
this
seriously
and
we're
going
to
address
this
as
a
city,
we
need
to
start
first
reducing
the
amount
of
energy
we
use
in
our
transportation
system
by
shifting
more
trips
to
transit,
to
walking
to
bikes.
And
second,
we
need
to
fully
electrify
as
many
vehicles
as
quickly
as
we
can,
while
also
working
to
reduce
the
carbon
intensity
of
the
electrical
grid
that
powers
those
vehicles.
E
So
today's
announcement
is
part
of
a
larger
commitment
to
that
work.
With
this
with
this
program
that
we're
launching
today
we're
helping
to
prepare
the
city's
workforce
for
the
fleet,
electrification
that
is
already
underway.
You
heard
with
the
school
buses
and
these
few
other
city
electric
vehicles
out
here
today
as
well,
and
we're
launching
this
program
not
only
to
train
city
staff
but
to
train
students
here
at
madison
park
at
benjamin
franklin.
E
You
know
too
often
we
talk
about
the
economic
transition
needed
to
address
climate
change
as
a
cost
that
we
have
to
bear,
and
I
think
what
we're
increasingly
realizing
and
seeing
is
that
this
is
actually
an
opportunity,
not
only
an
opportunity
for
economic
growth,
but
an
opportunity
for
increased
equity
in
how
we
grow
this.
This
transition,
this
climate
transition,
vehicle
electrification
or
many
of
the
other
things
that
are
underway.
E
It
creates
new
jobs
across
the
green
economy.
It
creates
critical
infrastructure
investments
and
it
creates
business
opportunities
for
people
to
provide
products
and
services
that
are
necessary
to
support
this
transition,
and
so
by
bringing
the
the
the
skills
and
the
training
for
green
economy
jobs
to
our
cities
into
our
schools.
We
want
to
make
sure
that
this
transition
not
only
helps
sustain
the
planet,
but
does
help
deliver
that
economic
benefit,
especially
to
the
residents
of
boston.
E
But
this
is
not
all
we're
doing.
When
we
look
at
our
electrification
strategy,
we
have
other
investments
that
we're
making
to
really
try
to
accelerate
the
pace
of
ev
adoption
here
in
boston.
We
have
an
ev
readiness
program
associated
with
new
developments,
making
sure
that
any
building
built
in
boston
is
equipped
for
an
electrified
future.
We
have
now
66
ev
charging
plugs
located
at
13
city
lots
around
the
city
with
more
to
come
later
this
year.
Many
of
these
plugs
have
been
turned
on.
In
the
last
several
months.
E
We've
accelerated
this
program
tremendously
we're
working
to
find
better
ways
to
support
electric
bikes.
We
recently
launched
a
pilot
program
to
support
electric
bike
delivery
for
food
as
a
way
to
both
support
our
restaurants
and
also
reduce
some
of
the
emissions
associated
with
delivery
services,
and
we've
launched
an
income
tiered
ev
car
sharing
service,
something
that
helps
make
it
easier
for
people
to
own
no
car
or
to
own
a
fewer
cars
while
still
being
able
to
access
clean
transportation
when
they
need
it.
E
So
there's
a
lot
more
work
ahead
at
the
city,
the
state,
the
federal
level
under
mayor's
under
mayor
wu's
leadership
and
with
the
commitment
that
we
as
a
city
have
made
to
the
green
new
deal
in
boston.
E
But
beyond.
His
love
of
automobiles
and
all
things.
Automotive
bill
also
cares
deeply
about
education
over
the
decades
he's
built
training,
programs,
mentored
budding
technicians
and
worked
to
help
city
staff
and
students
here
at
madison
park
and
around
the
city
develop
careers
in
automotive
technology
bill
embodies,
I
think,
some
of
the
best
of
public
service.
He
does
important
behind
the
scenes.
Work
that
help
makes
the
city
function,
but
he's
also
always
trying
to
find
ways
to
bring
his
skills
and
his
knowledge
to
have
a
wider
impact
on
the
city
of
boston.
E
So
just
want
to
express
my
deep
gratitude
to
bill
for
his
commitment
and
the
work
that
he
does
and
for
making
this
program
possible
all
right.
So
thank
you
bill.
So
with
that
I'll
hand,
it
back
to
the
mayor
and
looking
forward
to
hearing
more
about
what
we
have
in
store
ahead.
Thank
you.
F
Good
morning,
everyone,
my
name,
is
della
verne
stanislaus
and
I'm
the
director
of
transportation
for
boston
public
schools.
First,
I
would
like
to
thank
mayor
wu
and
your
administration
for
supporting
this
electric
bus
pilot.
I
also
want
to
share
gratitude
for
your
support
of
this
program
from
our
superintendent,
who
was
unable
to
join
us
here
today.
F
G
Thank
you
mayor
wu,
good
morning,
everyone
we're
in
school
good
morning,
everyone.
This
is
to
echo
dr
brown.
This
is
a
great
day
to
be
in
springfield
and
before
I'll,
be
remiss
to
start
without
offering
a
vote
of
thanks,
first
and
foremost
to
bill.
Coughlin
bill
has
been
a
staunch
supporter
of
madison
park
for
the
past
seven
years
and
probably
beyond
that
and
bill's
vision
back
around
2017,
and
also
giving
thanks
to
royal
bowling
and
jim
sprou
of
getting
electric
vehicles
here
to
madison
park
in
the
city
of
boston.
G
G
G
This
isn't
being
taught
in
our
high
schools
across
the
country
that
offer
these
programs,
and
this
is
the
time
to
do
it,
and
we
are
so
grateful
for
this
opportunity
and
when
you
see
the
number
of
individuals
around
here,
it
has
nothing
nothing
going
to
start
to
stop
the
momentum
going
forward.
It
will
provide
opportunities
for
students
of
color
that
have
never
happened
before
when
we
look
at
the
field
of
automotive,
automotive
technology.
G
It's
not
that
diverse,
but
here
at
madison
park.
We
have
that
opportunity
with
these
beautiful
individuals
behind
me
and
they
will
be
setting
the
standard
of
diversifying
the
automotive
field,
especially
when
it
comes
to
electric
vehicles.
So
in
summary,
let's
keep
it
going.
This
provides
our
ongoing
support
of
our
young
people
in
the
program
and,
as
was
told
by
that
mayor,
you
will.
This
will
be
incorporated
in
the
adult
automotive
technology
program
as
well
here
at
madison
park.
So
thank
you
for
your
support
have
a
great
day
folks,.
H
Good
morning,
all
right,
as
ed,
said,
royal
bowling
jim
spool.
I
see
someone
over
there,
john
lorianni
susan
lambert.
They
all
made
this
happen
through
the
years
it
took
a
long
time.
I
have
a
great
step
behind
me.
We
saw
what
was
needed
we
reached
out.
We
had
an
intern
program
at
the
body
shop.
I
forget
exactly
what
year
it
didn't
go
swimmingly,
but
it
did
go.
It
was
we
tested
the
waters.
H
We
worked
with
the
detail
shop.
It
was
a
bit
of
a
struggle,
but
the
students
got
some
real
world
experience
extremely
important.
That
was
the
goal
at
the
time
we
kept
looking
forward
to
how
we
could
improve.
I
know
tom,
I
know
chuck
they
do
a
fabulous
job
here.
I've
come
in.
I've
talked
to
the
seniors
they're,
some
of
the
most
polite
people.
I've
ever
met.
They
are
amazing
students.
H
H
H
You
know
train
the
trainer
is
going
to
continue
on
so
that
we
can
continue
to
grow
as
we
move
on.
2030
might
be
a
stretch,
but
we
will
try.
We
will
do
our
very
best.
I
have
voltrec
here
I
have
wadzilla
here.
I
have
mcgoven
auto
group
here
I
have
the
fayette
full
electric
sweeper
that
we'll
be
putting
in,
I
believe,
we're
getting
two
by
the
end
of
the
year.
H
You
can
all
check
them
all
out.
Sorry,
no
test
drives
today,
but
they're,
very,
very
impressive.
The
technology
and
the
thought
process
process
that
goes
into
all
these
is
beyond.
Where
we
started
out
points
plugs,
condenser
rotate
the
tires
drum
brakes.
We
are
gone,
we
are
into
modules,
more
modules
and
computers
and
if
they
don't
talk
to
each
other
machines
down,
then
it's
your
job
to
figure
it
out,
and
I
know
you
all
will
I
have
that
much
faith
all
right
with
that.
Thank
you
very
much.
B
Thank
you
so
much
for
your
leadership
bill
I
want
to
just
emphasize.
B
Just
one
of
our
many
many
examples
of
the
rising
stars
that
we
have
here,
I
do
want
to
shout
out
miss
brianna
duran,
who
is
a
student
she's,
a
student
in
the
automotive
program
here
at
madison
park
and
was
named.
This
year's
massachusetts
association
of
vocational
administrators
vocational
student
of
the
year.
B
So
this
is
this
is
what
we
are
eager
to
continue
growing
supporting.
I
know
there
are
many
many
stories
we
could
go
down
the
line
and
each
and
every
one
of
our
young
people
has
incredible
accomplishments
to
share.
We
hope
that
we
hope
to
lift
up
their
examples
as
the
inspiration
for
all
the
young
people
who
are
walking
through
these
doors
in
the
years
to
come
as
well.
I
F
F
Where
does
that
funding
come
from?
Oh
that
that
funding
is
already
budgeted,
it's
part
of
our
budget.
We
we,
actually,
we
actually
cycle
out
buses
every
year
right,
so
that
money
is
already
it
allocated
in
our
budget.
B
B
To
avoid
the
the
harms
that
we
are
are
heading
off
by
putting
in
place
the
the
infrastructure
now
with
electric
school
buses,
in
particular
over
the
life
of
a
vehicle
which
lasts
anywhere
from
15
20
years,
depending
on
the
servicing
that
we're
going
to
world
class
servicing
here
it
is
a
savings,
if
you
add
up
the
fuel
costs
saved
in
the
transition
to
electric
electric
vehicles.
J
E
Yeah
absolutely
so,
you
know,
we
know
that
charging
infrastructure
is
crucial
to
the
adoption
of
electric
vehicles,
so
we're
looking
at
that
through
a
few
different
angles.
So,
first
for
the
city
fleet,
we're
initiating
a
study
process
to
look
at
how
to
bring
the
appropriate
charging
infrastructure
to
all
of
the
various
places
where
city
vehicles
are
garaged.
It's
a
lot
of
variation
in
the
fleet.
Some
vehicles
receive
heavy
mileage.
Some
vehicles
travel
a
small
number
of
miles
every
day,
so
really
trying
to
make
sure
we're
sizing
that
charging
infrastructure
appropriately.
E
There
may
be
a
component
of
that
that
you
know
some
of
that
is
very
focused
on
highways.
There
may
be
a
component
of
that
that
can
serve
the
urban
core,
so
we're
working
with
partners
at
the
state
and
federal
level
to
identify
those
funding
opportunities
as
well.
But
we
are
seeing,
in
addition
to
all
of
that
significant
growth
in
the
private
charging
market
here
in
boston,
and
so
we
expect
that
that
combination
will
help
ensure
that
people
have
the
infrastructure
they
need
to
make
the
switch
to
evs.
K
Yesterday
about
access
to
long
island
at
the
treatment
facility,
he's
still
hesitant
but
says
he
will
be
sitting
down
and
talking
to
you
too,
is
that
an
avenue
either
rebuilding
the
bridge
or
fairies
that
you
are
exploring
and
how
you
try
to
bring
them
around.
B
There
are
constant
conversations
and
partnerships,
the
opiate
crisis
and
what
we
can
do
in
terms
of
relieving
the
intersection,
the
the
overlap
of
our
substance,
abuse,
homelessness
and
mental
health
crises.
This
is
a
regional
conversation
as
well,
and
I
know
that
long
island
is
has
been
in
the
past
an
important
part
of
the
spectrum
of
recovery
and
treatment
and
services.
We
know
that
we've
seen
when
we
tackle
root,
causes
and
create
supportive,
low
threshold
housing
connected
to
treatment
and
services.
It
works.
B
It
makes
a
difference,
and
it's
connecting
more
people
than
ever
before,
to
medical
treatment
and
to
permanent
housing,
and
so
we
need
the
space
and
we
need
the
programs
available
to
to
help
meet
the
need.
We're
not
there
yet
on
meeting
that
need,
even
though
boston
has
made
some
big
strides
forward,
and
that
will
require
regional
partnership.
B
B
We
are
working
on
every
possible
way
to
accelerate
the
space
and
programming
and
resources
available,
so
there
are
lots
of
different
ways
we're
tackling
this
all
at
once.
I
look
forward
to
sitting
down
with
each
and
every
one
of
my
colleagues
around
the
region
to
tackle
this
issue
to
tackle
our
issues
around
transportation,
housing
and
climate.
I
did
chat
with
the
mayor
yesterday
was
proud
to
host
everyone
in
city
hall
from
around
the
region,
specifically
to
talk
about
how
we
can
be
aligned
on
tackling
our
opiate
crisis.
J
B
Away,
I
know
I'll
have
to
get
the
exact
numbers,
but
we
are
now
officially
in
outdoor
dining
season
in
the
city
of
boston.
Our
teams,
yesterday
in
city
hall,
were
out
distributing
all
of
the
necessary
signage
and
materials
so
that,
hopefully,
in
the
you
know,
if
the
rain
holds
off,
we
will
get
to
be
dining
outside
very
very
soon
in
the
city
and
we're
excited
to
see
that
happening
in
in
neighborhoods
across
boston.
B
It
each
and
every
restaurant
that
was
part
of
our
outdoor
dining
program
last
year
has
already
been
contacted
and
there's
in
the
north
end.
In
particular,
a
lot
of
effort
went
into
laying
out
slightly
adjusted,
spacing
between
the
patios
and
all
the
parameters,
so
that
emergency
vehicles
and
pedestrian
access
could
be
guaranteed
at
a
baseline
of
safety,
and
so
those
those
restaurants
are
in
conversation
with
the
city.
B
We
are
seeing
an
uptake
in
cases
not
just
in
boston
but
around
the
country
and
our
boston,
public
health,
commission
and
public
health
experts
are
monitoring
this
very
closely
and
in
coordination
with
the
boston,
public
schools
and
other
public
health
focused
entities.
We
are
going
to
take
every
precaution
in
our
city
and
make
sure
that
we
can
keep
our
schools
open,
can
keep
our
businesses
up
and
running,
and
that
means
keeping
our
focus
on
public
health
as
well.
A
Let's
thank
the
mayor.
