 White House tells federal workers to rent green EVS - or take the bus or train: Biden administration cracks down on government staff using gas vehicles on official business

    Federal employees are being asked to rent electric cars when the cost is less or equal to gas-powered cars and where charging is accessible
    They've also been asked to take trains instead of planes if their journeys are less than 250 miles
    The new White House directive was released Thursday as President Joe Biden has been a proponent for electric cars and Amtrak

President Joe Biden made another move Thursday to push his electric car agenda and live up to his nickname as 'Amtrak Joe' by pressing federal employees to rent electric vehicles and take more trains.

In a directive Thursday, federal employees were told to rent EVS on official travel when costs are less or equal to comparable gas-powered vehicles and where charging is accessible.

Additionally, federal workers were instructed to take rail for trips less than 250 miles when cost-effective and feasible rather than flying.

It also directs federal employees to avoid taking private vehicles for official travel.

Government employees should also opt for electric vehicle Lyft, Uber or taxi rides if available and increasing public transit use.
