In 2021, New York’s Governor Hochul and New Jersey’s Governor Murphy made a promise to our communities to cut deadly air pollution, and set us on a course toward a healthier transportation system. The clean truck standards are already helping to get quieter, cleaner trucks in our neighborhoods, delivering vital goods in a more sustainable way. 

Now our states are being strong-armed by corporate polluters into ceding their leadership on clean transportation. The truth about clean trucks is simple: they save lives, support our economies, and clean up the air for everyone who breathes. There is no reason to roll back, weaken or delay our transition to cleaner vehicles other than to line the pockets of corporate special interests. New York and New Jersey state leaders need to stand together to protect our health with well-established clean truck standards.
