Promoting Clean, Affordable Transportation
We’re at an inflection point: It’s time to modernize the U.S. transportation system and bring it into a new era. We must eliminate climate pollution from our national transportation system, and support reliable, convenient, low-cost public transit. We must invest in smart, equitable land use planning. Because we all deserve to live in thriving, connected communities.
The Analysis
Transportation is the largest source of climate pollution in the U.S. Through smart policy, we have an opportunity to clean up our air, improve public health, and tackle climate pollution. We must deploy reliable, affordable electric vehicles and charging infrastructure, invest in public transit and transit-oriented communities, and cut dangerous transportation pollution.
Federal rollbacks threaten progress, but states still have powerful tools to cut pollution and keep clean transportation affordable.
States can redirect existing transportation dollars away from highway expansion and toward transit, EV infrastructure, biking, and walking.

“Cleaning up the transportation sector is one of the most powerful steps we can take to cut climate pollution and protect public health. To meet our climate goals and deliver real benefits to communities, transportation policy has to be a central part of the solution.”

Tell Congress to Save EVs
Congress is dangerously close to passing a new consumer tax on EVs in the massive transportation funding bill. If that happens, it would raise costs for families and dump up to 230 million metric tons of climate pollution into the atmosphere—that’s equivalent to adding 54 million gas-powered cars to the road for a year. We’re urging lawmakers to reject EV fees and protect clean, affordable transportation for families.
