Our Work
return
to clean vehicles
Currently we're
working on the following initiatives:
- Fuel Economy Standards: Corporate Average
Fuel Economy (CAFE) reduces global-warming pollutants by setting
mileage standards. We are urging the Bush administration to raise
those standards, requiring automakers to manufacture more
fuel-efficient cars and trucks.
- Advanced-Technology Incentives: New
technologies, like electric,
hybrid, and fuel cell, hold the greatest potential for reducing
transportation-related pollution. We advocate legislation that
provides funding and incentives that will help bring these
vehicles to market.
- Diesel Trucks and Buses: We are working
nationally to support the Environmental Protection Agency's new
standards that ensure that emissions from diesel vehicles are
reduced. In additiion, we have launched a campaign to establish
funds to allow school
districts to purchase cleaner buses. For local fleets in
California, we are encouraging policymakers to expand the use of
clean technologies, like natural gas and fuel cells.
