John,

Transportation is the largest source of climate pollution in Washington. This pollution threatens our climate, our air quality, and the health of communities living near major highways and roads. Pollution from transportation is making it harder to breathe for our neighbors.

The Puget Sound Clean Air Agency, which encompasses Snohomish, King, Pierce, and Kitsap counties, has proposed establishing a Clean Fuel Standard that would tackle this issue at its source – reducing the carbon intensity of transportation fuels by a whopping 25% by 2030.

The Clean Fuel Standard comment period has been extended to February 10! Take action and tell the Puget Sound Clean Air Agency that you support climate action by establishing a Clean Fuel Standard. [[link removed]]

This Clean Fuel Standard would take on climate pollution in the Puget Sound region and could reduce greenhouse gas emissions statewide by six million tons a year by 2035. Even if you don’t live in Snohomish, King, Pierce, or Kitsap counties, your input is valuable. This policy can set the stage for statewide action.

A Clean Fuel Standard works by setting a limit on greenhouse gas emissions from transportation fuels. This gives an advantage to cleaner fuels like electricity and biofuels, and incentivizes more access and infrastructure to these clean fuels for everyone.

Tell the Puget Sound Clean Air Agency board to stand up for climate action and support a Clean Fuel Standard. [[link removed]] Send your comment by February 10.

By submitting a comment in support of the Agency’s draft Clean Fuel Standard, you will help reduce greenhouse gas emissions right here at home. A Clean Fuel Standard can also target investments in communities hurt the most by fossil fuels and provide protections for workers.

Climate emissions from gasoline and diesel aren’t just warming our planet. This pollution also has significant health impacts, impacting people living close to roadways with serious health problems like strokes and heart disease.

Together, we can make a safe, healthy, and resilient Washington.

Thank you for all you do,

Eleanor Bastian

Climate and Clean Energy Policy Manager
