"I thought the meeting with the president went very, very well," Dyer said. "He was very attentive to the needs of Fresno. Very apparent to me that he had been briefed on things that we are doing here to include our electric buses as well as high-speed rail.

Just last week, Mayor Dyer helped roll out two of seven brand new all-electric city buses.
