USEPA Office of Transportation and Air Quality
EPA's Transportation and Air Quality program protects public health and the environment by regulating air pollution from motor vehicles, engines, and the fuels used to operate them, and by encouraging travel choices that minimize emissions. These "mobile sources" include cars and light trucks, heavy trucks and buses, nonroad recreational vehicles (such as dirt bikes and snowmobiles), farm and construction machines, lawn and garden equipment, marine engines, aircraft, and locomotives.
SMART (Sustainable Mobility and Accessibility Research Transformation) is an inter-disciplianry initiative that focuses on sustainable transportation and mobility in city regions of the world. It is a projects of CARSS (The Center for Advancing Research for Society) at the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor.
