How Ohio Benefits from Federal Fuel Economy and Vehicle Emissions Standards

Federal fuel economy and vehicle emissions standards have saved Ohio $1.2 billion to date and are projected to make the average Ohio household $2,200 richer by 2030. These standards are expected to create 29,700 new jobs in the state and eliminate global warming emissions nearly equivalent to those from providing electricity to Columbus.

• Federal fuel economy and global warming emissions standards have provided Ohio with $1.2 billion in savings to date.
• By 2030, the average household in Ohio is projected to be $2,200 richer due to gas savings outweighing the upfront cost of more efficient vehicles.
• The standards are expected to generate 29,700 new jobs in Ohio.
• In terms of environmental impact, the standards eliminate global warming emissions in Ohio that are nearly equivalent to the emissions produced by providing electricity to Columbus.
• The EPA and NHTSA established light-duty vehicle standards in 2012 aimed at nearly doubling the efficiency of new light trucks and cars by 2025.
