Tell the EPA to approve states’ cleaner car standards

13 states plus Washington, D.C. are relying on an EPA waiver to
implement standards that protect clean air, public health, and
our planet. Submit your comment!

Dear NRDC Activist,

Transportation is the largest source of climate pollution across
the United States – and transitioning to cleaner, zero emission
vehicles is one of the best ways to tackle this problem.

This is what 13 states and Washington, D.C. are trying to do by
adopting clean car standards that are even stronger than the
federal government’s standards to limit emissions from cars and
trucks. But the states cannot implement these climate-saving
regulations without approval from the Environmental Protection
Agency (EPA).

The EPA is inviting public comments on
these standards – but only until February 27. We need as many
people as possible to voice their support for the strongest clean
car standards.

Tell the EPA to give states the green
light to implement strong clean car standards. ( [link removed] )

These states have already enacted these stronger clean cars
standards. But under the Clean Air Act, California must apply for
an Advanced Clean Cars II (ACC II) waiver with the EPA to
actually implement their clean vehicle programs since they are
more stringent than the federal government’s standards.

California, D.C., and the 12 other states—which represent over
30% of the new vehicle market—will need this waiver in order to
actually enforce the regulations they have adopted.

Urge the EPA to approve the ACC II waiver
now and help enact the strong clean car standards we need to
fight climate change and protect our health! ( [link removed] )

ACC II is a key regulation that allows states to further reduce
harmful emissions from gasoline and diesel cars and light trucks
on the road. It also allows states to increase the number of
clean, electric vehicles placed for sale, giving drivers more
options when it comes to the cars they drive.

Thanks to activists like you, we’ve also been urging the EPA to
strengthen national vehicle standards that lead to significant
reductions in carbon emissions. We’re expecting the EPA to
release these final federal standards this spring.

Granting the ACC II waiver is a win for air quality, health,
drivers, and the climate in these 13 states and Washington, D.C.
– and paves the way for more states to follow suit.

Submit a comment to the EPA to approve
California’s ACC II waiver to allow states to accelerate the
transition to cleaner vehicles and safeguard public health. ( [link removed] )

Sincerely,

Kathy Harris
