Clean Transportation

LEARN MORE ABOUT THE PROGRAM

Clean Transportation

Local Westchester municipalities, businesses, institutions, residents and students can go green. All, by participating in the Sustainable Westchester electric vehicle (EV) discount program.

Now more than ever, individuals, companies, and municipal fleets can own or lease a variety of EVs, connect to EV charging station infrastructure and install solar-powered EV charging stations — our “Sunshine to EVs” and chargers that allow for vehicle-to-grid technologies.

EV conversion results in significant savings in vehicle maintenance costs and gas, all while promoting more environmentally friendly and clean/electric transportation solutions.

Sustainable Westchester can help you navigate the options, sift through available incentives, rebates and vendors and help you determine a path forward that best meets your needs.
