Sustainable Transportation Program Overview

Clean Air Council's work in the area of transportation goes back almost to the Council's beginning over forty years ago. As the litigator responsible for forcing Pennsylvania to implement the automobile Inspection and Maintenance program back in the '70s, Clean Air Council established its interest in transport-related pollution issues. Today, transportation associated problems extend to concerns over not only mobile source air pollution and its health effects, but also fossil fuel consumption, greenhouse gas reduction, land use impacts and sprawl.

The Council is a leading force in addressing transportation in Pennsylvania. The Council sits on a number of advisory boards for planning and transportation authorities in the state. The Council works through:

  • Government oversight to ensure that all planning and transportation decisions take into account public health and the environment.

  • Public education and advocacy to promote the use of alternatives to the private motor car wherever possible.

  • Empowering neighborhoods to ensure local transportation needs are addressed with a satisfactory input from community members.
