In this op-ed piece, Dr. Sharon Chinthrajah, clinical associate professor, cites the dangerous air pollution levels in the Bay Area. Low-income communities bear the greatest burden of pollution with disproportionately high rates of asthma among children. The Bay Area Air Quality Management District's Clean Cars for All program offers low-income individuals from communities impacted more by pollution an opportunity to lease or purchase electric vehicles. Plans are in place to expand this program to the entire Bay Area by the end of the year.
