Did you know that nearly half of America’s population lives in areas with harmful air pollution?
According to new research by the American Lung Association, approximately 150 million people live in counties affected by unhealthy ozone or particle pollution—most of which is caused by the transportation sector. The most vulnerable populations are children, seniors, individuals with chronic health conditions, lower-income communities and people of color.
A nationwide transition to zero-emission transportation solutions is vital to achieving clean, healthy air for everyone. By 2050, this shift could save approximately 6,300 lives and avoid up to $72 billion in health harms annually.
