New York City Sheriff Joseph Fucito said “Enforcement of laws using Electric Vehicles (EV) is a powerful step towards reducing climate-altering greenhouse gases, lowering the risk of respiratory disease, reducing noise, and ending a long-standing dependence on fossil fuels. He added, “Protecting people and the environment at the same time is an important goal for the future of public safety.”
