About this Report

Zeroing in on Healthy Air About this Report Zeroing in on Healthy Air finds that a widespread transition to zero-emission cars, trucks, buses and other vehicles, coupled with non-combustion, renewable energy resources would yield tremendous air quality, public health and climate benefits across the United States. To illustrate the potential benefits, a transition to 100 percent sales of light- duty passenger vehicles and medium-and heavy-duty vehicles were assumed over the coming decades, along with a transition to non-combustion electricity generation. Zeroing in on Healthy Air builds off the 2020 Road to Clean Air Report by the American Lung Association, and illustrates the potential scale of benefits to public health, air quality and climate change if the United States accelerates the course to a zero-emission transportation sector coupled with non-combustion renewable sources like wind and solar energy.
