Transportation is now the #1 source of air pollution that is causing global warming and extreme weather events and also has been linked to cancers, diabetes, heart disease, asthma and other respiratory diseases.
BUT Maryland’s current plans fails to reduce tailpipe emissions of the cars and trucks we drive fast enough to meet our emission reduction goals. That’s where YOU come in!
Please join us for one or more of these upcoming events to discuss how we can transform transportation in Maryland!
