Given the high amount of emissions from our transportation sector, it is imperative that we should do as much as possible to reduce emissions in that sector, in order to meet our legal obligations in statute as well as our ethical obligation to maintain a healthy environment for all, whether it be from the toxic air pollutants that affect those living next to highways or the carbon dioxide that affects our general climate. And it's harder to encourage a good economy when the cost of climate inaction grows ever more larger, from wildfires and energy-demand-induced inflation.

While I prefer strategies that reduce the amount of vehicles there are, I recognize that this isn't the hearing for that. As such, for this hearing, I ask for rules that require:

- 100% zero-emission vehicle sales by 2030.
- 7% annual pollution cuts from gas-powered cars in the meantime.
- Mandatory equity commitments to ensure that communities most affected by pollution benefit from electric vehicles first and foremost.

Separately, I also ask CARB to look into the general increasing sizes of vehicles, which inherently increase the energy demand and thus complicate our path to a clean transportation fleet and energy grid. This trend needs to be reversed, which would also provide safety benefits for pedestrians, bicyclists, and other road users.
