Take Action Against the Repeal of the Clean Cars Program

From the American Lung Association:

Governor Jan Brewer and the Arizona Department of Environmental Quality (ADEQ) are working to repeal the Clean Cars Program, which means Arizona will be even farther away from clean air and the public health benefits that clean air brings to Arizonans.

The Clean Cars Program limits health-damaging pollution from automobiles by establishing fleet-wide limits on tailpipe emissions and by requiring the sale of advanced-technology vehicles such as hybrids that have even lower emissions. Cleaner cars not only reduce air pollution and decrease adverse public health effects such as asthma attacks, but they save consumers money at the pump, which is particularly important as gas prices continue to fluctuate. It is no wonder that Arizonans overwhelmingly supported bringing the Clean Cars Program to our state.

Please take action against the repeal of our Clean Car Standards:

1. Attend the Public Meeting on June 21 at 2:00 PM at the ADEQ Offices
1110 W. Washington, Conference Room 3175 A&B
Phoenix, AZ 85007

2. Personalize and send a message to ADEQ:
