BREAKING NEWS: COALITION FOR RESPONSIBLE TRANSPORTATION LAUNCHES AD CAMPAIGN
The Coalition for Responsible Transportation (CRT) launched a newspaper advertising campaign on Monday August 18th in the Long Beach Press-Telegram and the Daily Breeze to highlight its proactive efforts to help reduce truck emissions, enhance air quality, and better the lives of Long Beach residents. The ad, entitled “It’s Time to Clear the Air,” also recognizes the work of Long Beach Mayor Bob Foster, who has vigorously challenged industry stakeholders to replace older-model trucks.
Welcome to the Coalition for Responsible Transportation (C.R.T.) website. This coalition was created for private sector companies to address environmental issues, to implement innovative solutions to alleviate diesel-related emissions, and to promote better business practices in communities surrounding our nation’s ports. C.R.T is developing voluntary industry solutions rather than relying on legislative mandates to address the following issues:
Air quality has become a significant issue in the regional transportation centers
Local residents, community leaders and environmental groups are pushing state and local leaders for change
Truck replacement and truck emissions reduction has become a major focal point in the region
Air quality improvements will be critical and necessary component of any new infrastructure projects
