“Control what we can control” – turbocharge state programs so that by the time enforcement kicks in, compliance is easier.
Use the enforcement pause to speed up the practical work that makes clean trucks feasible: grants, charging buildout, utility coordination, and program delivery. Fund policy and implementation support that helps Washington deploy its $160M investment quickly—especially for smaller fleets—so compliance is easier when enforcement resumes.
Why this works
- By using the current pause to build EV truck charging stations, train workforce, and get early adopters on board, Washington can remove practical barriers.
- The state’s huge $160M investment is a strong start – making sure that money swiftly gets to fleet operators to buy electric trucks will create success stories.
- If small trucking firms see peers benefiting from fuel and maintenance savings, opposition softens.
- This strategy also includes expanding partnerships: e.g.
- working with utilities to ensure depot charging gets fast-tracked, and possibly using the Climate Commitment Act revenue annually to fund rebates for zero-emission trucks (making sticker prices comparable to diesel).
National Committee to Preserve Social Security and Medicare
AdvocacyProtecting and enhancing retirement and health security for seniors
The National Committee to Preserve Social Security and Medicare (NCPSSM) is a grassroots advocacy organization founded in 1982 to serve as an advocate in Washington for the financial security of seniors. NCPSSM fights against cuts to Social Security and Medicare, pushes for benefit improvements (like more accurate COLAs), and works to ensure these programs’ long-term solvency. With millions of members and supporters, the Committee lobbies Congress, conducts public education, and organizes seniors to speak out on issues such as prescription drug pricing and protection from inflation.
Mechanism
How National Committee to Preserve Social Security and Medicare uses funding
- Identify the biggest implementation bottlenecks (charging, permitting, truck availability, financing) and prioritize fixes.
- Work with agencies to speed grant and rebate timelines and simplify applications for small operators.
- Coordinate with utilities and regulators to fast-track depot charging approvals and interconnection.
- Recruit early adopters and surface proof points that reduce opposition.
- Create a feedback loop so programs adjust based on deployment results.
