“focused on reducing
transportation related emissions
in NC counties that have air quality
concerns”
Project Education & Outreach Partners:
Funded by the N.C. Department of
Transportation with Congestion Mitigation Air
Quality Funds.

24 counties do not meet national air
quality standards for
ozone.
Health Impacts of Vehicle Emissions
42% of the nation lives where pollution levels are dangeroushttp://www.stateoftheair.org/2013/key-findings/

Ozone & Particulates can lead to:
• Asthma Attacks • Chest pain• Wheezing and coughing• Shortness of breath• Inflammation of lungs

National Trends in Clean Transportation
Petroleum Economics
Supply• Exists, but harder to get• Many nations historically
unfriendly to US• We often import more than we
produce

2006 -- diesel fuel converted to Ultra Low Sulfur Diesel (ULSD)
Cleaner-burning
97% less sulfur than Low-Sulfur Diesel
2007-2010 -- “Clean” Engine phase-in for heavy duty trucks
• Lowered NOx 96% & PM 90% compared to 1994
• Increased cost of conventional vehicles

Fuel & Vehicle Efficiency
Get more out of what you use:
• Eco Driving
• Vehicle maintenance
• Lower speeds and slower accelerations
• Overdrive gears and cruise control
• Remove excess weight
• “Right size” vehicle
• Eliminate unnecessary idling
For every 5 mph over 60, your fuel efficiency decreases by 7%
VMT Reduction Programs
Reduce Use:
• Combine or avoid trips
• Carpool
• Adjust routes
• Use Alternative modes - public transit, walk, bike
Idling is:Expensive
$20 billion per year in US
Often restrictedPollutes
Idle reduction can be
cheap and quick

Electric Drive Vehicles
Option 1: Powered by an internal combustion engine and an electric motor that uses energy stored in a battery but,
• Hybrid Electric Vehicles (HEV)• Battery is charged by regenerative braking
• Plug-in Hybrid Electric Vehicles (PHEV)• Battery is charged by plugging into power
source.
Option 2: Powered by an electric motor that uses energy stored in a battery
• All-Electric Vehicles (EV or PEV)• Battery is charged by plugging into power
source
Benefits to fuel:
• Potential for zero emissions
• $0.50 to $0.70 per gallon equivalent
• Public recharging stations increasingly available
Plug-in Hybrid Electric Vehicles
• Lithium-ion battery pack & electric motor
• 10 - 75 mile all-electric range
• Plug into a 120V or 240V outlet
• 2013-14 models include:• Cadillac ELR• Chevy Volt• Ford C-MAX Energi• Ford Fusion Energi• Honda Accord• Toyota Prius Plug In Chevy Volt
• all electric, 40mi range• standard gas engine 38 mpg• Currently best selling PHEV
