Diesel pollution is so exhausting: Why Oregon can't delay clean trucks

Oregon is at a critical crossroads when it comes to clean transportation. Recently, diesel truck manufacturers and fossil fuel companies have led efforts to slow Oregon's progress toward reducing diesel pollution by delaying the implementation of our state's Advanced Clean Trucks rule. Here's why we need to fight those efforts and why we need to accelerate, not slow down, our transition to clean, pollution-free trucking as an essential step toward reducing diesel pollution and advancing clean transportation technology.
