As kids head back to school, it’s a great time to consider how clean-air vehicles are making daily life better for families, especially in areas where air pollution is most prevalent. Each clean vehicle on the road helps cut 1.6 to 3.3 metric tons of CO₂ emissions every year, which is equivalent to taking a gas-powered car off the road for up to eight months. Through DCAP, more residents are gaining access to affordable, zero-emission vehicles that reduce harmful pollution, improve the air we breathe, and support long-term health and financial savings. It’s more than just cleaner air—it’s a step toward healthier communities and a stronger future.
