Transportation is a significant source of air pollution and causes the US’s most prominent, fastest-growing climate emissions. We can tackle the climate crisis and clean up our air by shifting to pollution-free vehicles, accessible public transit, and making our communities more walkable, bikeable, and transit-friendly. No matter their Zip Code, race, income level, age, or any other factor, people should be able to rely on clean and safe transportation.
