Guest opinion: Montana will be healthier with stronger clean car rules

As bicycling enthusiasts, we know that decreasing the number of miles people travel in motor vehicles reduces dependence on fossil fuels and helps decrease air pollution. Bicycling and walking are pollution-free modes of transportation that also build community, keep us fit and healthy, and save money at the pumps.

Cars are among the largest contributors to air pollution because they emit not only carbon dioxide, but also pollutants like nitrogen oxides and particulate pollution. Cycling does not produce any of these pollutants and thus can help keep city air clean to breathe. Mile for mile, short car trips are the most polluting; they are also the easiest to replace with bike trips.
