NMDOT: we need a new mascot to encourage slow driving

DESIGNER: Roadrunner, got it

NMDOT: The name should encourage caution

DESIGNER: Zippy it is

NMDOT: "When yoy see Zippy the Roadrunner, slow down." I dunno.

DESIGNER: If we leave now we can beat the rush at Golden Pride

NMDOT: it's perfect
The New Mexico Department of Transportation has a new mascot to encourage people to slow down in construction zones.

Santa Fe County, New Mexico, wants the road outside Epstein’s former Zorro Ranch renamed Survivors Memorial Highway.

The change would honor survivors of trafficking, sexual exploitation, assault, domestic violence and child abuse.

The NMDOT must approve it.

Some clean energy and decarbonization funds still exist and are moving, at the state level.

For example, NMDOT's fast-charging EV charger funds! I know the NMDOT folks, and they've worked extremely hard on this program. Appropriate entities should absolutely apply.
The New Mexico Department of Transportation (NMDOT) is soliciting applications for grant funds that were appropriated to be used for equipment and installation of commercial-grade fast charging equipment.

Applications for funding can be found at www.dot.nm.gov/electrifying-new-mexico/
