Eighteen AG Support U.S. Postal Service’s Review of Electric Vehicle Fleet

AUGUST 15, 2022

California Attorney General Rob Bonta and New York Attorney General Letitia James co-led a multistate coalition of 18 attorneys general in commenting on the U.S Postal Service’s notice of intent to prepare a Supplemental Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) and commitment to purchase more electric vehicles. The notice followed a lawsuit filed by AG Bonta and others that alleged that the Postal Service relied on a flawed environmental analysis to justify purchase of up to 90% gas-powered vehicles. The letter called on the Postal Service to expand the scope of the Supplemental EIS.
