A Special Virtual Presentation from the Office of Kathy Hochul

Speaker: Amanda Lefton, Commissioner of the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation, GOVERNOR HOCHUL’S 2026 ENVIRONMENTAL AGENDA

Join for a virtual Lunch & Learn featuring Amanda Lefton, Commissioner of the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation, presenting on behalf of Governor Hochul.

Commissioner Lefton will walk us through key environmental priorities outlined in New York’s 2026 State of the State and Executive Budget – and what they mean for Long Island and communities across the state.

Empire Clean Cities, ConEd, NYCSBUS, Logan Bus, WRI, and NYSERDA invite you to an Electric School Bus Expo at the NYCSBUS Brooklyn depot. The ESB EXPO will feature interactive, real-world demonstrations for school bus operators, school district transportation directors, and others interested in learning about electric school buses.

ESB EXPO attendees will have access to charger demonstrations, electric school bus ride-alongs (featuring both Type A and Type C buses), and opportunities to learn about the latest technologies and funding programs. Vendors and technical experts will be available on-site to discuss procurement options, financing, maintenance considerations, charging logistics, and facility planning—and to answer practical questions about what it really takes to operate electric buses. Don’t miss this FREE event! Parking is available on-site.

On Wednesday, March 25, we’re mobilizing in Albany to urge lawmakers to defend our Climate Law!
Governor Hochul is threatening to weaken New York’s landmark Climate Law through the state budget due April 1. We’ll be in Albany during final negotiations, urging our lawmakers to stand firm: NO CLIMATE LAW ROLLBACKS in the BUDGET!

We can’t afford any more delays—New Yorkers need lower utility bills and real climate solutions. A more affordable, healthier, and climate-resilient New York is within reach, but only if we end our reliance on costly, polluting fossil fuels.

Join us in Albany to protect our progress! We can’t do this without you.
