Health Impacts of Vehicle Emissions
42% of the nation lives where pollution levels are dangeroushttp://www.stateoftheair.org/2013/key-findings/

Ozone & Particulates can lead to:
• Asthma Attacks • Chest pain• Wheezing and coughing• Shortness of breath• Inflammation of lungs

unfriendly to US• We often import more than we
produce

2006 -- diesel fuel converted to Ultra Low Sulfur Diesel (ULSD)
Cleaner-burning
97% less sulfur than Low-Sulfur Diesel
2007-2010 -- “Clean” Engine phase-in for heavy duty trucks
• Lowered NOx 96% & PM 90% compared to 1994
• Increased cost of conventional vehicles

Fuel & Vehicle Efficiency
Get more out of what you use:
• Eco Driving
• Vehicle maintenance
• Lower speeds and slower accelerations
• Overdrive gears and cruise control
• Remove excess weight
• “Right size” vehicle
• Eliminate unnecessary idling
For every 5 mph over 60, your fuel efficiency decreases by 7%

VMT Reduction Programs
Reduce Use:
• Combine or avoid trips
• Carpool
• Adjust routes
• Use Alternative modes - public transit, walk, bike
