“Many of our cities in the Southeast, like Atlanta and Charlotte, struggle with substantial traffic, growing populations and meeting federal air quality standards each year. These newly proposed standards, in addition to the new fuel efficiency standards adopted last year, will help ensure that all vehicles on the road emit less pollution.
