A clean fuel standard program would incentivize cleaner, low-carbon fuels and electric vehicles while disincentivizing highly polluting petroleum fuels. It would help combustion engine vehicles currently on our roads switch to renewable fuels now while also creating a revenue source that would help communities of color get the electric vehicle charging infrastructure needed, so they aren’t left behind in the transition to electric cars.
It’s time to move past studies and pass legislation. We know from states that have the program already that it works, especially in communities of color that have lived with disproportionate levels of air pollution for decades. In California, which has had a clean fuel standard program since 2013, particulate soot pollution has decreased three times as fast in communities with high levels of diesel pollution than in communities with less air pollution risk.
