Breathing Free in Illinois: Reducing Air Pollution and Improving Health through Cleaner Cars
April 2008, Report

On April 1, 2008, The Environmental Law & Policy Center (ELPC) released a report based on analysis by Cambridge Systematics on the public health and environmental benefits of proposed clean car legislation in Illinois. The report shows that, each year, the Illinois clean car standard would reduce pollution from vehicles by as much as 16 percent for "criteria" air pollutants and up to 21 percent for air toxics by the year 2030. 

The Impacts of Climate Change and Variability on Transportation Systems and Infrastructure: Gulf Coast Study, Phase I
March 2008, Report

On March 13, 2008, the U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT) released a major report on the potential impacts of climate change on transportation in the Central Gulf Coast. The study, conducted under the auspices of the U.S. Climate Change Science Program (CCSP), was sponsored by the U.S. DOT Center for Climate Change in partnership with the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS). Cambridge Systematics led a group of researchers investigating the risks that transportation may face due to rising sea levels, changing rainfall patterns, more extreme storms, and warmer temperatures. We found that climate change is likely to result in significant challenges for coastal infrastructure.
