"Colorado is poised to be a leader in the electrification of our transportation sector. Now is not the time to go easy on our climate and pollution goals. We’re already experiencing the impacts of a changing climate in Colorado, including extreme weather events. And communities of color face the greatest impacts of toxic pollutants which contribute to higher rates of asthma, cancer and other illnesses that lead to lost health and economic productivity" Kathy White, Executive Director, Colorado Fiscal Institute.
According to the report, adopting the ACCII could lead to a 104 million metric tons reduction in cumulative CO2 emissions between 2035 and 2050 in Colorado. Various stakeholders, including environmental groups, automakers, and community organizations, have expressed their support for these regulations. It is widely agreed that reducing greenhouse gases from passenger vehicles is of utmost importance, and these regulations will help achieve this goal and promote local economies across Colorado.
