As part of Healdsburg's continued effort to reduce GHG emissions, Healdsburg’s electric department reviewed the utility service and main service panel of our local Post Office. The purpose was to identify any limitation in our Post Office adopting electric postal trucks, such that the City could increase the utility service and speed the transition to a clean postal fleet. The white paper here shows the potential for the Post Office to add up to 11 new electric postal trucks without utility upgrades or significant changes to the main service panel.

Additionally, the California Air Resources Board (CARB) petitioned the U.S. EPA to accelerate EV adoption within Federal Fleets located in California. The State’s adopted Advanced Clean Fleets regulation requires affected state and local government fleets to incorporate zero-emitting on-road medium-duty and heavy-duty vehicles and light-duty package delivery vehicles into their fleets, beginning in 2024. To enforce the State’s regulations on Federal Fleets, CARB requested a waiver of preemption from the U.S EPA. CARB’s requested wavier here was withdrawn by CARB in January 2025.
