Congressman Serrano (D-NY), member of the House Appropriations Committee and Chairman of the House Appropriations Financial Services and General Government subcommittee, which oversees the federal payment to the USPS:
"The e-Drive bill is a bold step to help the USPS achieve sustainability from an operational standpoint. It also will help them lead the greening of our nation's delivery fleets and jump-start the electric vehicle industry in the U.S. Through a rigorous testing and competitive grant process, administered by the Department of Energy, manufacturers, large and small, will compete to bring their leading-edge technologies to the market. The industry will grow stronger as a result -- creating knowledge, deploying new technologies, and producing quality American jobs. Our nation must become a leader in green technologies and leveraging the enormous assets of the USPS provides us with a direct route toward that goal."
"Our nation is ready to support an electric vehicle fleet. Our power grid would benefit, our industrial base would benefit, our environment would benefit, and under this approach, the USPS, as well as its employees and customers, would benefit. It’s a win-win situation all around. I look forward to passing this bill with my allies in Congress, and the support of the public and private sectors.”
