President Biden signed an executive order that gives federal agencies 90 days to devise a plan for a zero-emission federal fleet in the United States. These four recommendations can help guide the federal fleet transition plan toward best outcomes.

In his first week in office, President Biden signed an executive order that gives federal agencies 90 days to devise a plan that fully transitions the federal fleet’s roughly 650,000 vehicles including about 225,000 postal vehicles, 173,000 military vehicles and 245,000 civilian vehicles into “clean and zero-emission vehicles for Federal, State, local, and Tribal government fleets, including vehicles of the United States Postal Service.” While some of these vehicles may include hydrogen, the majority will likely be electric vehicles (EVs). As such, this executive order is a critical first step to getting the on-the-ground momentum for a major electric vehicle transition.

In recent years healthcare companies have faced an increasing number of lawsuits due to non-compliance with ADA web accessibility guidelines for people with disabilities.
When healthcare providers are faced with the threat of legal action they often scramble to make their sites compliant, doing the bare minimum necessary to avoid legal and financial repercussions. But patients with disabilities deserve so much more than the bare minimum; they deserve the kind of seamless and convenient online experience that many of the rest of us take for granted.
