California adopted the Advanced Clean Cars program (ACC II), a common-sense approach to cutting climate and air pollution by requiring that all new cars sold in 2035 and beyond are zero-emission vehicles.

To meet today’s economic, political and climate crises, we must sharply reduce demand for gasoline. Coltura outlined its strategy for rapidly and equitably reducing gasoline consumption in an article, “Towards a National Strategy to Cut Gasoline Use,” published last month in the Georgetown Journal of International Affairs.

Coltura’s Gasoline Superusers report identified millions of lower-income families who use more than 100 gallons of gasoline per month who are struggling under the burden of today’s high gas prices. Many of these families live long distances from their workplaces or drive many miles as part of their jobs. The recent rise in gas prices is causing these families to spend upwards of $600 per month on gasoline, which can be more than one-third of their household income after taxes, rent, and food. High gas prices, and the impacts they entail, are likely to persist for years.

The California Assembly Transportation Committee passed a landmark ZEV incentive reform bill, AB 2816, by a bipartisan 6-2 vote on Monday.

Seattle, WA – March 25, 2022 – Washington State Governor Jay Inslee signed into law today a bill setting a date of 2030 for all new cars registered in the state to be electric.

Today, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) restored authority under the Clean Air Act for California and other states to set vehicle emission standards that exceed those set by the federal government.

We are thrilled to share that Sparky’s Electrifying Tale, the first children’s storybook about the harms of gasoline and the benefits of cleaner alternatives like electric vehicles, has won the Mom’s Choice Award for Children’s Books, honoring excellence in family-friendly media, products, and services.
