The Coalition for Clean Air works to protect public health, improve air quality, and prevent climate change.
About us
Follow the Coalition for Clean Air (CCA) to join our community of professionals, policy-makers and everyday people dedicated to bringing clean air to California. Established in 1971, CCA is California's only statewide public interest organization advocating exclusively for improving air quality and preventing climate change. From creating the idea for California’s original Smog Check program in 1981 to ensuring the first national ban on the toxic dry cleaning chemical “perc” to helping pass legislation to put 1 million electric vehicles on California’s roads by 2023, CCA leads the way to socially and environmentally responsible air policies nationally and worldwide. Today our small but might staff engages in educational programming, informing policy and coordinating the largest air quality campaign in the State: California Clean Air Day. Why We Exist In California, nine out of ten people breathe air that violates federal clean air standards. This creates far higher rates of asthma, respiratory and cardiovascular disease. Children and the elderly are particularly at risk. Early exposure to air pollution leads to a lifetime of weakened lungs. Thousands of people die of lung cancer every year who have never smoked a day in their life. Climate change is expected to exacerbate the situation, increasing the intensity and number of days we are exposed to this toxic soup of air pollution. The good news is that there is a path forward. Through good policies, the adoption of new technologies and the involvement of people like you, we can restore clean, healthy air to California.

The clock is ticking in our effort to make the CA Clean Cars for All program even better by steering #electricvehicle incentives to households that most burdened by the cost of gasoline and the pollution from older, dirtier cars. AB 2401, authored by Assemblyman Phil Ting, is a wise and sensible policy that would accelerate pollution cuts, save Californians more $, and get more gasoline-burdened drivers behind the wheel of an EV. It passed unanimously through the CA Assembly and the key Senate committees and is supported by a wide array of stakeholders. But we only have 10 days to pass the full Senate and get it to the Office of California Governor Gavin Newsom's desk. Let's hope that we can get it across the finish line by Aug. 31 and signed by the Governor. Coltura Coalition for Clean Air The Greenlining Institute Union of Concerned Scientists, Valley CAN
Great news 🥳👏 A key bill to update California’s Clean Cars 4 All program, making it more effective and equitable, just passed its final Senate committee and is now headed for a full Senate vote! AB 2401 will help the most gasoline-burdened drivers in low-income communities access EVs and save money on fuel costs. "AB 2401 will cut climate and air pollution faster while ensuring the benefits of these programs lift up communities most in need,” said Janelle London, our co-executive director. https://lnkd.in/gSn4eUGP

The Advanced Clean Fleet rule is important for the health of Californians, especially for those who live near freeways, warehouses, railyards and ports. It will help fleets reduce their pollution and transition to zero-emissions trucks. US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) must grant California's ACF waiver today!
