Why healthy air?
Air pollution causes harm to humans, animals, and the environment. In major cities across Australia, the main source of air pollution is from motor vehicle emissions.
RAC’s Vision 2030 is for a safer, sustainable, and connected future for Western Australians. To create a more sustainable future, we must eliminate harmful vehicle emissions so current and future generations can enjoy healthier and cleaner air.
