Most air pollution, like smog and soot, is tied directly to the burning of fossil fuels for transportation—which continues to be the
number one source of greenhouse gas emissions in the United States. By transitioning to electric vehicles (EVs), we can remove harmful tailpipe emissions from our neighborhoods and protect our most vulnerable residents from the asthma attacks, heart attacks, and premature deaths caused by the constant burning of gasoline and diesel fuel.
