Senator O'Mara critiques New York's Advanced Clean Truck mandate
Senator O'Mara has voiced concerns over the upcoming Advanced Clean Truck (ACT) rule in his weekly column.

This rule is part of the "Climate Leadership and Community Protection Act" adopted by the state Department of Environmental Conservation in 2019.

Senator O'Mara participated in a "Newsmaker" interview on WHCU Radio with Joe Salzone on October 14th. The discussion focused on a new state mandate introduced by Governor Hochul. Starting in 2025, this mandate will require an increasing percentage of medium- and heavy-duty vehicles, such as buses, pickups, vans, garbage trucks, and long-haul trucks, to be electric and zero-emissions.
