The Washington State Senate passed SB 5811 this week, making it the 12th state to adopt and implement California’s zero-emissions policy, according to Electrek.
Now, the entire West Coast requires that at least 5% of all vehicle sales are electric vehicles (EVs). By 2025, EV sales must make up 8%.
More immediately, once the bill is signed, people in Washington could see an increase in EVs offered for sale in the state, as some manufacturers only sell vehicles in states that have the zero-emission mandate.
While SB 5811 recieved support from the Union of Concerned Scientists, it was opposed by trade organizations that represent major auto manufacturers. The Union of Concerned Scientists say that the transportation industry is the state’s biggest producer of carbon pollution.
SB 5811 also expands the types of vehicles required to meet California standards to include medium-duty vehicles.
Earlier this year, Washington passed HB 2311, requiring the state to achieve net-zero emissions by 2050. However, a study has shown that the state is not on track to meet those goals.
SB 5811 has already passed the House and Gov. Jay Inslee is expected to sign it.

Graph 1: fleet management activities
The proposal audit analyses and assesses all fleet management activities shown in the graph 1, and its main goals are:
- Know the overall status of the fleet management activities
- Provide the analysis, the assessment, the advice, the suggestions and the actions to take in order to cut costs and increase the efficiency and efficacy of the fleet management activities
With the information obtained, we’ll elaborate a report that holds the overall status of the fleet management as well as the suggestions, recommendations and the measures to take in order to cut costs and optimize the fleet management activities.
