How New York Benefits from Federal Fuel Economy and Vehicle Emissions Standards

The document argues that federal fuel economy and emissions standards set by the EPA and NHTSA provide significant benefits to New York, including $1.8 billion in savings to date and projected household gains of $1,950 by 2030. It highlights that these standards reduce global warming emissions by an amount equivalent to the electricity needs of New York City and support job creation within the auto industry.

• Federal fuel economy and global warming emissions standards have resulted in $1.8 billion in savings for New York to date, with the average New York household projected to be $1,950 richer by 2030.
• The standards are expected to create 42,800 new jobs in New York.
• In terms of environmental impact, the standards eliminate global warming emissions in New York equivalent to the emissions produced by providing electricity to New York City.
• The 2012 standards established by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) aim to nearly double the efficiency of new light trucks and cars by 2025.
