Dear Air Resources Board and Board Members,

In advance of the March 24th California Air Resources Board
(ARB)meeting and the Board review of the zero emission vehicle
(ZEV)Program, we'd like to share the following material with you.
To show widespread support for clean vehicles programs from
healthcare professionals. Attached please find our letter from 1100
doctors, nurses, medical students, and other health professionals,
which includes over 200 signers from Clean Car States, to
President-elect Trump calling on him to take climate action to
protect public health.

The letter states, “With health impacts ranging from heat-related
illness and deaths to asthma and respiratory illnesses, and more
vector borne diseases, climate change is threatening the health of
Americans across the country. You have the power to dramatically
cut the greenhouse gas pollution fueling this crisis. We ask you to
work to shift towards a 100% renewable energy and efficient future,
while phasing out the use of fossil fuels.”

The letter outlines the health damages in the US Global Change
Research Program’s 2016 Climate and Health Assessment. It urges
increases in electric vehicles and higher fuel efficiency standards
for cars.

Please let me know if you have any questions.

Thank you.

Best,
Aminah Zaghab
Global Warming Solutions Advocate, Environment America
