million in Alternative Fuel Incentive Grants (AFIGs) to 18 cleaner fuel transportation projects statewide that will reduce greenhouse gas emissions and other air pollutants. Transportation generates 47 percent of nitrogen oxide emissions in Pennsylvania, contributing to the formation of ground-level ozone.

Getting more zero- and low-emission vehicles on the road in Pennsylvania helps reduce harmful air pollutants, including nitrogen oxides, carbon monoxide, particulate matter, and volatile organic compounds. It also helps lower the level of carbon dioxide, one of the greenhouse gases heating up the climate, in the air.

Conventional vehicles are a leading source of air pollutants that affect human health. Transportation is also the largest source of greenhouse gas emissions in the United States. Nearly 154,000 of those jobs would stem from incentives that make it less expensive to purchase medium- and heavy-duty EVs like trucks and buses.

This, along with many other chemicals, like diesel particulates and ground-level ozone that form soot and smog, and metals like lead in paint and drinking water, are regulated by the EPA to keep us safe. For one thing, many regulatory functions are delegated to the state, tribal, and local levels.

At the high temperatures in internal combustion engines, some of the nitrogen in the air actually burns, resulting in the formation NO or NO 2 , which are collectively called NOx. NOx plays a role in forming ground level ozone and final particulates (PM2.5), both of which are human health hazards.
