Coalition for Clean Air

The Coalition for Clean Air’s big mission is to protect public health, improve air quality and prevent climate change. They specialize in policy advocacy and outreach in California to protect people and places threatened by air pollution and global warming. With support from this grant, the coalition will prioritize clean cars and clean freight movement policies. They will also advance the objectives of initiatives such as Charge Ahead, California Cleaner Freight Coalition and California Climate Equity Coalition.

The Coalition for Clean Air is a California-based environmental advocacy organization leading the work to reduce pollution from freight and goods movement in the state. With this grant, the Coalition will continue to support their Zero Emissions Freight Transportation Program and the Charge Ahead Initiative, promoting and developing specific freight mitigation measures together with other coalition partners, port and member communities and allied organizations. They target clean freight policies to reduce carbon dioxide and black carbon emissions including electric drive technologies, infrastructure improvements, and improvements on logistics. One of the priority venues is the California Air Resource Board’s Freight Strategy.
