“Route Zero Relay” Kicks Off with Local Leaders and Advocates Calling for Strong Clean Car Standards to Put Us on the Route to Zero Emissions
Today, the Route Zero Relay kicked off at the end point of historic Route 66 on the Santa Monica Pier. Local Councilmember Phil Brock of Santa Monica, Susana Reyes, City of L.A.

The speakers also encouraged the Biden Administration and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to finish the job by finalizing the strongest option for the newly announced round of federal clean car standards.
