Do you BREATHE? Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger and Attorney General Jerry Brown have done the right thing to file suit against the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (U.S. EPA) for its failure to act on California's request for a waiver to regulate greenhouse gas emissions from cars and light trucks sold in the state. California has been waiting for a decision from the U.S. EPA for almost two years. There is no more time to waste.

BREATHE LA and Breathe California strongly oppose the Governor's proposal to use $1.3 billion in Public Transportation Account funding for programs traditionally funded via the General Fund.

If enacted, the Governor's cuts to the Public Transportation Account would devastate the State Transit Assistance Program, the state's only transit operations assistance program. This action could negatively affect transit agencies and service at a time when service increases are important to help meet air quality standards and quality of life goals.
