Zero-Emission Vehicles are Critical For Clean Air

Transportation is a major source of harmful air pollution, health disparities and climate pollution in the United States. Moving away from polluting vehicles is critical to achieving clean, healthy air for everyone.

Our latest report, “Driving to Clean Air,” highlights the benefits to our health and climate by shifting to zero-emission vehicles and renewable energy.

Key Findings

Let’s make the benefits of zero-emission vehicles a reality. Please join us in asking the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to finalize strong pollution limits for new cars. Now is the time to act for clean air.
