Opinion: Here's how one San Diego community united to limit industrial diesel pollution [Opinion]
The California Air Resources Board is keenly focused on reducing diesel pollution, especially in the most impacted communities — those adjacent to ports, freight corridors, distribution centers and rail yards.
In recent years, the California Air Resources Board has adopted regulations requiring heavy-duty truck manufacturers to transition from diesel trucks to zero-emission trucks, with the expectation that nearly 300,000 zero-emission vehicles will be manufactured by 2035.
The California Air Resources Board measures adopted thus far are projected to save billions of dollars in health care costs and, most importantly, save lives by avoiding tens of thousands of premature deaths, hospitalizations and emergency room visits. Children like Garcia’s new baby deserve to grow up without asthma medication and inhalers, and the fear that someday they may develop something far worse, like cancer. Everyone has the right to live, work and play in a clean and safe environment. That is the promise of environmental justice. Let’s work together to make it a reality.
