Prohibit criminal history questions on job applications and postpone background checks

Replace or retrofit diesel buses or other vehicles to operate with clean diesel technology

Replace internal combustion engine vehicles with all-electric vehicles through financial incentives, regulations, and multi-component initiatives

Pair youth at risk for delinquent behavior with mentors to develop relationships and spend time at regular meetings for an extended period; mentors have greater knowledge, skills, etc. than mentees
