Hearing for EPA’s Clean Car Rule Repeal Monday Sept. 24

September 13, 2018

← Back to all stories

Hearing for EPA’s Clean Car Rule Repeal is  Monday, September 24th from 10 AM – 5 PM  at  1401 Fulton St, Fresno, CA 93721

The Trump administration is proposing to undo national air pollution rules, called CAFE standards, that had us on track to make future passenger cars and light trucks cleaner and more fuel-efficient than ever.

The Trump administration also wants to eliminate a fuel efficiency waiver that allowed California, alongside 13 states and Washington DC, to adopt even higher fuel standards to protect public health and meet state pollution reduction goals.

There is only  ONE  public hearing for this rule on the entire west coast and we need you there to speak up for clean air!

If you would like to testify at this hearing please sign up no later than  Friday, Sept 14th   by contacting
