Fuel to burn: the climate and public health implications of off-road vehicle pollution in California

In addressing the twin goals of reducing greenhouse gas emissions and protecting public health from the adverse effects of poor air quality, California needs to immediately address the pollution and greenhouse gas emissions from off-road vehicles. These emissions, while a relatively small component of the overall transportation sector, are a significant and growing source of greenhouse gases. Due to the meteoric rise in the number of off-road vehicles, these emissions will climb significantly if steps are not taken to curb them.
