Tailpipe pollution causes up to 200,000 early deaths and triggers millions of asthma attacks every year

 

On this World Asthma Day we are reminded that far too many communities across the country do not have breathable air because of toxic vehicle pollution. 

Luckily, state leaders across the country have taken action to adopt a clear roadmap to cutting deadly car and truck pollution with the Advanced Clean Trucks (ACT) and Advanced Clean Cars II (ACCII) program. But now, our life-saving clean vehicles programs are under attack by corporate polluters.

Corporate Polluters Can Not Stand in the Way of Clean Air

Instead of working together to build a healthier future, corporate polluters are squandering resources—millions of dollars—on misinformation campaigns and lobbying efforts designed to delay action and allow them to keep polluting our air. We deserve clean air. We do not have the luxury of waiting any longer to address the devastating effects of transportation pollution.
