Episode Details

Chicago’s air quality hit an all-time low three weeks ago, and it’s still dangerously bad—thanks to year-round diesel pollution from trains and trucks. With summer smog on the way, breathing outside remains risky for kids, seniors, and those with respiratory issues. But there’s hope: Chicago Transit Authority plans to add 30 new electric buses toward its 2040 goal of a fully electric fleet (currently just 25 out of 2,000). Pace is also racing toward “Project Zero,” aiming for all 733 of its buses to be electric by 2040, adding 22 new electric models this year. These moves are vital steps toward cleaner air—and protecting our most vulnerable neighbors.
