Diesel pollution in MD | Union of Concerned Scientists

The Union of Concerned Scientists advocates for Maryland to adopt the Advanced Clean Truck (ACT) rule to mitigate health impacts from diesel exhaust and ensure an equitable transition to electric vehicles.

• Diesel exhaust from buses and trucks is a primary cause of air pollution that leads to annual hospitalizations for residents of Maryland.
• The Advanced Clean Truck (ACT) rule is proposed as an initial regulatory step to mandate that manufacturers increase the annual percentage of electric trucks sold.
• The ACT rule is viewed as a starting point for broader policies needed to address the history of disproportionate air pollution impacts in specific Maryland communities.
