I know you care deeply about climate pollution and the impacts on our children. That’s why I'm asking you to contact EPA Administrator Michael Regan today.
The transportation sector is the leading source of climate pollution in the US, and heavy-duty vehicles are a big contributor. In fact, despite making up only 10% of the total number of vehicles on the road, medium- and heavy-duty trucks contribute a quarter of the total climate pollution from the transportation sector.
Trucks are also major sources of other harmful air pollution. Medium- and heavy-duty trucks account for more than 60% of the deadly particle pollution that comes from vehicles. Particle pollution cuts short tens of thousands of US lives per year and contributes to the heavy burden of asthma on our nation’s children.
Regan recently announced a commitment to address pollution from trucks. Tell him you support this important and critical initiative — for our children’s health. It’s time to reduce climate pollution from heavy-duty trucks.
Thank you.
