Pledge to Support a Zero-Emissions Freight Transportation System
Freight transportation relies on thousands of trucks, trains, and ships traversing through low income and Black, Indigenous, and other people of color communities to move goods from distribution to market The movement of goods generates a significant amount of localized pollution in environmental justice communities and for frontline workers, while worsening the climate crisis across the country because it is fueled by dirty diesel. Frontline and fenceline communities are forced to bear the brunt of freight pollution’s negative impact, and we know exposure to diesel pollution is linked to severe health consequences like cancer, diabetes, heart disease, asthma, and more.
We can’t wait any longer for action. Join our Zero Emission in Freight campaign if you agree that the local, state, and national regulatory agencies must:
Prioritize environmental justice solutions across the freight transportation system.
Commit to 100% zero emissions across the freight transportation system.
Take actionable measures in support of communities most burdened by the effects of an expanding freight transportation system and deadly diesel emissions.
