Acknowledging the public health impacts of air pollution from internal combustion engine vehicles in Hawaii and affirming a commitment to cleaner.

This bill recognizes the public health impacts of air pollution from internal combustion engine vehicles in Hawaii, particularly on communities near major roadways and areas with concentrated transportation activity. It highlights the disproportionate exposure to harmful air pollution experienced by vulnerable populations such as children, older adults, and individuals with existing health conditions. The bill also acknowledges the intersection of these impacts with socioeconomic inequities and environmental justice concerns, particularly affecting lower-income communities.
