Why Oregon should keep investing in clean trucks and buses
Clean transportation is creating real benefits across Oregon, from school districts saving thousands in fuel costs to cleaner air for kids and neighborhoods. Now, advocates are urging state leaders to build on that momentum and keep proven programs moving forward.
[PRESS RELEASE] A group of environmental, climate, and business organizations intervened in the Oregon Court of Appeals to defend the state’s Climate Protection Program (CPP) against challenges from the oil and gas industry.
Oregon’s Climate Protection Program protects our health, cuts pollution from the state’s largest emitters, and helps shield families from rising energy costs. Big oil and gas are once again suing in court to avoid accountability. We’re committed to defending this program and ensuring a safe, healthy, affordable Oregon for today and future generations.
A decade of progress deserves to be celebrated, especially right now. In a moment when climate headlines can feel like a constant stream of bad news, Oregon’s Clean Fuels Program (CFP) turning 10 is a win worth celebrating. It is one of those rare public policies that has quietly, consistently done exactly what it was designed to do: cut pollution, improve health, and drive investment into cleaner transportation choices across the state.
