And across the United States, the transportation sector is now the largest source of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. In California, transportation is responsible for over 40 percent of GHG emissions and is a leading contributor to emissions of health-harmful air pollutants, such as particulate matter and nitrogen oxides.

But while greenhouse gas emissions may be reduced, a delivery fulfilled by a diesel-burning truck may lead to increases in emissions of smog-forming nitrogen oxides and lung-damaging particulate matter.

Number of cars are up, but gasoline use is down The number of passenger cars, trucks, and SUVs in California has continued to increase over the last ten years, from less than 23 million in 2013 to almost 29 million in 2023. Only around 50,000 EVs were on the road in 2013, but there are now over 1.5

These fees and programs were established with legislation in 2007 and then were extended until 2024 with the passage of Assembly Bill 8 in 2013 (hence the name, “AB 8 fees”). It’s clear , and it has been clear for decades, that to stave off the worst impacts of climate change we must drastically reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions.

Flaring, demonstrated in the photo on the right, is the uncontrolled burning of excess or unwanted petroleum pools such as, excuse me, flaring can be a significant source of air pollution such as nitrogen oxides and greenhouse gas emissions. It is also an additional source of noise and light pollution.

greenhouse gas emissions, more than the electric power sector. The transportation sector is also a substantial source of nitrogen oxides and particulates, both of which are dangerous to human health. Transportation is now the source of 28% of U.S. Before starting, here’s a little more background about the three cases: Texas v.
