Reducing Negative Health Impacts from Transportation on Communities of Color
School and city buses, trash trucks, 18-wheelers, and off-road construction vehicles, are among the many fluxes of emissions from the transportation sector.
- School and city buses, trash trucks, 18-wheelers, and off-road construction vehicles, are among the many fluxes of emissions from the transportation sector.
- This suggests that communities of color are affected significantly more by the adverse effects of the public and private transportation sector.
- However, replacing fossil fuel-based diesel with biomass-based diesel, which would lower emissions, is one of the most important measures to decrease negative health disparities in communities of color.
- Green vehicles not only help mitigate transportation pollution's impact on public health, but also lower diesel fuel costs.
