APRIL 2025 24 The City of Phoenix Office of Sustainability is partnering with South Mountain Community College, Drive Electric Arizona, Valley of the Sun Electric Vehicle Association, SRP, and Valley of the Sun Clean Cities for the second annual Drive Electric Earth Month Phoenix Electric Vehicle (EV) Ride and Drive. This event is a great opportunity for Phoenix residents to learn about the benefits of electric vehicles. Attendees will have the chance to test drive EVs, meet with industry experts, and explore the future of transportation while supporting the City of Phoenix’s goal of reducing GHG emissions by 50 percent by 2030 and achieving net-zero emissions by 2050. We encourage community members to spread the word about the Drive Electric Earth Month Phoenix EV Ride and Drive. Join us on April 19 from 8 a.m.-12 p.m. at South Mountain Community College (7050 S. 24th St., Phoenix). We hope to see you there!
