Between 2009 and 2015, the legislation more than doubled the fuel efficiency of the fleet of 13,500 yellow taxis, leading to estimated declines in air pollution emissions. exhaust emissions declined by 82% and 49%, respectively. The findings are published in the Journal of Exposure Science & Environmental Epidemiology.

Following the establishment of California’s statewide Truck and Bus Rule in 2008, California began requiring diesel particulate filters on trucks, reducing diesel particulate matter from the exhaust gas of diesel engines. Neighborhoods in freight corridors, including those near ports, will especially benefit. 5b02766.
