Clean Air Shouldn’t Be Optional: Climate Investments should be in the Oregon Transportation Package

Everyday necessities shouldn’t come with everyday pollution. Yet the goods and resources we rely on are delivered by a freight system powered largely by diesel. This is bringing toxic emissions into our neighborhoods, schools, and lungs. Diesel pollution is not just an environmental issue, it’s a public health crisis, especially for children.

🚨 Breaking: Oregon Delays Clean Air Progress—Tell Legislators to Act Now

JUST IN: As of yesterday, the Oregon leaders decided on a major setback to clean air and climate progress. They announced a two-year delay to the state’s Advanced Clean Trucks (ACT) rule. This delay comes after relentless lobbying by Big Oil and national truck manufacturers—and it's our communities who will bear the consequences: more diesel pollution, more asthma, more climate harm.

Diesel pollution is so exhausting: Why Oregon can't delay clean trucks

Oregon is at a critical crossroads when it comes to clean transportation. Recently, diesel truck manufacturers and fossil fuel companies have led efforts to slow Oregon's progress toward reducing diesel pollution by delaying the implementation of our state's Advanced Clean Trucks rule. Here's why we need to fight those efforts and why we need to accelerate, not slow down, our transition to clean, pollution-free trucking as an essential step toward reducing diesel pollution and advancing clean transportation technology.
