Thirty-nine percent of people in the United States are exposed to unhealthy air pollution, with the transportation sector being the largest source of climate pollution nationwide.
Communities living near highways, warehouses, rail yards, and ports face daily exposure to diesel pollution from truck fleets, with low-income communities and communities of color suffering the brunt of this pollution.
Fortunately, one state has developed a lifesaving solution. California’s Advanced Clean Fleets (ACF) standard will help reduce pollution from trucks and ensure a transition toward cleaner, zero-emission vehicles. This standard is essential for improving air quality and addressing the climate crisis.
However, California and other states that choose to adopt this clean truck standard can’t enforce it without a waiver approval from the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). Granting this waiver is vital to protect public health and ensure cleaner air for millions. Failure to do so will leave communities vulnerable to persistent diesel pollution for years to come.
Urge the EPA to help accelerate our nation’s transition to cleaner trucks, fight climate change, and protect public health.
