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.
