A New Era for Transportation

The push for cleaner transportation options is gaining momentum!

New Jersey is now considering phasing out gas car sales by 2035 in order to reach its goal of 80% carbon-dioxide reductions by 2050. This would make New Jersey the FIRST state on the East Coast to enact such a policy.

Other U.S. states—as well as countries worldwide—have announced similar plans. Check it out: http://ow.ly/okrT50CmFTP

The Road to Cleaner Air

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.
