Because the trucking industry also believes in clean air, the American Trucking Associations (ATA), along with other industry partners, has formed the Clean Freight Coalition (CFC). The goal of the CFC is to:

  • Educate policy makers on the progress the trucking industry has made in reducing emissions and protecting the environment.
  • Promote the work underway to reduce greenhouse gas emissions from freight transportation.
  • Advocate for sound public policies that transition toward a zero-emission future in a manner that assures affordable and reliable freight transportation and protects the nation’s supply chain.

We all need to work together in a practical, measured way to ensure we can achieve a zero-emission future. This coalition will help shape and direct that future.
