   The dangerous tailpipe emissions from the vehicles we drive is now the number one source of climate disrupting-pollution in the country and a leading contributor to the dirty air days that harm our health. Maryland does not yet have an actual plan to reduce enough pollution from the transportation sector to meet the goals we need to protect our future. Fortunately, Maryland is on the frontier of forming a new regional partnership that would cut harmful pollution from the transportation sector and invest in the clean, safe, and equitable solutions we need to get from point A to point B.
