Ditching Dirty Diesel

The Pacific Institute-coordinated Ditching Dirty Diesel Collaborative is a Bay Area collaborative of over a dozen environmental justice and health organizations who have been working together since October 2004 to reduce diesel pollution and improve health in environmental justice communities throughout the Bay Area.

The Ditching Dirty Diesel Collaborative has three active areas of work: diesel idling, goods movement, and capacity building.

The Steering Committee of the Ditching Dirty Diesel Collaborative includes the Pacific Institute, Bayview Hunters Point Community Advocates, BVHP Health and Environmental Task Force of SFDPH, Contra Costa Health Services/Contra Costa Asthma Coalition, Ethnic Health Institute, Healthy San Leandro Collaborative, Natural Resources Defense Council, Neighborhood House of North Richmond, Regional Asthma Management and Prevention Initiative, and West Oakland Environmental Indicators Project.
