Why Public Health Matters above Trump policies

• California has made continuous progress in cleaning the air.
• However, ~18 million residents live in areas with unhealthy air and 1500 die from air pollution every year in Southern California alone.
• With transportation accounting for 60% of California’s smog-forming pollution and 40% of its greenhouse gas emissions, the state must continue cutting vehicle emissions to meet national air quality standards, fulfill state goals, and fight climate change. [This isn’t Trump’s Chinese Hoax lying point, Climate Change is real and thoroughly documented. – AutoCrat],
• Cleaner vehicles will also save Californians billions of dollars in vehicle maintenance and healthcare costs as the state continues to advance ZEV deployment.
