Council Member Gennaro highlights the disproportionate contribution of medium and heavy-duty trucks to air pollution, despite their relatively small numbers on the road.
- Medium and heavy-duty trucks, often used for deliveries, contribute an outsized amount of pollutants
- Nationally, these trucks represent less than 10% of vehicles on the road
- However, they account for more than 60% of NOx and fine particulate matter emissions
- Gennaro emphasizes the need to address the environmental impact of changing delivery patterns in New York City
