Strategies

Educate parents and caregivers about proper use of car seats and reward parents and/or children for correct use

Replace or retrofit diesel buses or other vehicles to operate with clean diesel technology

Replace internal combustion engine vehicles with all-electric vehicles through financial incentives, regulations, and multi-component initiatives

Support use of in-vehicle devices that alert novice teen drivers when they have high g-force events (e.g., rapid acceleration, braking, or turning) and allow families to review driving performance

Establish roads that avoid built-up areas such as towns, cities, or commercial/business districts

Modify the built environment to affect traffic speed and patterns via speed humps, pedestrian center crossing islands, roundabouts, etc.

Implement anti-idling policies and awareness campaigns to reduce engine idling for passenger vehicles, school buses, and/or equipment and truck fleets
