THE CREATION OF EQUITABLE HIGH
QUALITY JOBS IN OUR EMERGING
CLEAN TRANSPORTATION SECTOR. UH
WE'VE VESTED INTEREST IN CUTTING
EMISSIONS AS QUICKLY AS POSSIBLE
BECAUSE OF THE LONG TERM
ECONOMIC EFFECTS. AND, OF
COURSE, UH, HUMAN, UH, AH,
IMPACT OF CLIMATE CHANGE AND TO
PROTECT THE STATE'S INVESTMENT.
THIS BILL WILL IMPLEMENT A HIGH
ROADS JOB PROGRAM FOR ANY
ACQUISITION OF ZERO EMISSION
TRANSIT VEHICLES OR ELECTRIC
VEHICLE SUPPLY EQUIPMENT VALUED
AT $10 MILLION OR MORE. THIS
YEAR, WE'VE MADE HUGE
INVESTMENTS IN SUSTAINABLE GLUT
, JOB CREATION AND THE CLEAN
TRANSPORTATION SECTOR. AT THE
FEDERAL LEVEL. IT'S CLEAR THAT
PUBLIC DOLLARS WILL BE MADE
AVAILABLE FOR COMMUNITY
BENEFITS. UM. UM ONE ISSUE
THAT'S COME UP IS THE AVERAGE
COMPENSATION VARIES WHITE VARIES
WIDELY IN CLEAN ENERGY SECTORS
FROM ABOUT $38,000 TO $97,000,
HOWEVER, FOSSIL FUEL AND THE
FOSSIL FUEL UH, INDUSTRIES THE
AVERAGE COMPENSATION IS ABOUT
$130,000. SO WE HAVE GOT TO MAKE
SURE THAT WE HAVE POLICIES THAT
ENSURE FUNDING, UM NOT ONLY FOR
THE CONSTRUCTION JOBS BUT ALSO
FOR OTHERS AND PROVIDES
COMMUNITY BENEFITS AND PROTECTS
THE STATE'S INTEREST. THIS IS WE
NEED TO HAVE THE MECHANISMS IN
PLACE TO GUIDE THAT SPENDING. UM

STEP IN A CRITICAL DIRECTION FOR
US IN TERMS OF POLICY GOAL THAT

YEARS, WHICH IS YOU KNOW, HOW DO
WE FIND THE BEST USE FOR OUR TAX
DOLLARS AND MULTIPLE MULTIPLE
USES AND BENEFITS FROM FROM EACH
TAX DOLLAR THAT GOES OUT EACH
EXPENDITURE AND THIS INSTANCE
YOU'RE YOU'RE ACHIEVING BOTH

PARTICULARLY IN THE
TRANSPORTATION INDUSTRY. THAT 6
74 EFFECTS. UM ONE PARTICULAR
IMPORTANT PIECE FOR THE
TEAMSTERS, AND THIS BILL IS THE
ACCOUNTABILITY PROVISIONS. THERE
ARE A NUMBER OF COMPANIES THAT
HAVE COME INTO THE SPACE
BUILDING E V VEHICLES, BUSSES,
ETCETERA THAT MAKE A LOT OF
PROMISES TO POLICYMAKERS AND TO

RESPECT TO JOBS. THE TEAMSTERS
HAVE A NUMBER OF MANUFACTURERS
THAT THEY REPRESENT ONE BIG ONE
IN CALIFORNIA THAT MAKES THESE
BUSSES AND HAS BEEN A UNION

EXCELLENT. UM WE ARE IN STRONG
SUPPORT OF THIS BILL BECAUSE IT
IS AN OPPORTUNITY FOR THE STATE
TO BOTH MEET OUR AMBITIOUS
CLIMATE GOALS WHILE AT THE SAME
TIME CREATING HIGH QUALITY HIGH
ROAD JOBS. UM, WE KNOW THAT THE
STATE HAS ALREADY INVESTED AND
WILL INVEST BILLIONS INTO THE
CLIMATE ECONOMY INTO CLEAN
TECHNOLOGY INTO ELECTRIC
VEHICLES, AND WE RIGHT NOW HAVE
A CHOICE. WE CAN TAKE THE LOW
ROAD. WHERE WE JUST SAY HERE'S
THE MONEY FOR MEETING OUR
CLIMATE GOALS. GO AHEAD. DO
OFFSHORING DO CREATE PART TIME
TEMPORARY LOW WAGE JOBS WITH NO
BENEFITS. KEEP GOING WITH THE
ECONOMY. THAT WE HAVE RIGHT NOW.
BASICALLY JUST KIND OF
EXACERBATE THE INEQUALITIES THAT
WE HAVE RIGHT NOW. OR WE CAN
TAKE A STEP WITH SB 674 AND WE
CAN TAKE THE HIGH ROAD. AND WE
CAN HAVE REQUIREMENTS THAT SAY
WE WANT TO HAVE HIGH ROAD JOB
QUALITY, JOB QUALITY AND HIGH
ROAD JOB CREATION WITH THE MONEY
THAT WE ARE INVESTING TO MEET
OUR CLIMATE GOALS, THEY GO HAND
IN HAND AND WE WILL BE INVESTING
IN OUR ECONOMY AT THE SAME TIME
, AND WE WILL ALSO HELP MEET OUR
CLIMATE GOALS. WE WANT TO MAKE
SURE THAT THE PEOPLE WHO ARE
BUILDING ELECTRIC VEHICLES CAN
ALSO AFFORD ELECTRIC VEHICLES
RIGHT NOW. THAT'S NOT THE
REALITY. AND SO THIS IS AN
INCREDIBLY IMPORTANT BILL
TOWARDS MEETING THOSE GOALS AND

FOR LEFT, ONE FOR ELECTRIC
BUSSES AND ONE FOR THE TRAINS
WHERE THERE WERE ASSEMBLY OF
THOSE TRAINS AND PROVIDED
HUNDREDS AND HUNDREDS OF GOOD
PAYING JOBS. THERE IS A WAY FOR
OUR TAX DOLLARS. REMEMBER THAT
THIS IS NOT SOMEBODY? THIS IS
OUR TAX DOLLARS AND WE HAVE A
RESPONSIBILITY BOTH THE LEGAL
FIDUCIARY AND A MORAL
RESPONSIBILITY TO SIT. USE THOSE
TAX DOLLARS IN THE BEST WAY FOR
THE GREATER COMMON GOOD, SO 6 74
