Dear CA Air Resources Board,
I urge you to restore
California’s leadership on clean cars by accelerating the
state’s transition to 100% electric vehicles and
strengthening requirements on new gas-powered vehicles.
California must lead the way with strong policy solutions to end
tailpipe pollution and build an environmentally just transportation
system. New clean car standards must ensure equitable access to
electric vehicles.
We urge you to adopt strong clean car
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.
This
transition is a tremendous opportunity to create family-supporting,
high-road jobs for Californians. We urge you to seize this moment
and adopt nation-leading clean car standards that slash climate
pollution, ensure equity, and promote good jobs.
Sincerely,
Sincerely,
Bobbie Flowers
New
York, NY 10011
