engines, compared to a future where the majority of cars on the road are Zero Emission Vehicles (ZEVs), including battery electric vehicles, plug-in hybrid electric vehicles and hydrogen fuel cell electric vehicles by 2050. The study looked at the 10 U.S.


states that already use ZEVs: California, Connecticut, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, New Jersey, New York, Oregon, Rhode Island and Vermont. The human toll was found to be


more than 109,000 asthma attacks, 220,000 lost work days and over 2,500 premature deaths are estimated to have resulted from passenger vehicle emis- sions in 2015 in the 10 ZEV states. In addition to health costs, the

productivity, property damages from increased flood risk, climate-related health costs, and the value of ecosys- tem services like pollination and clean drinking water. The report finds wide- spread ZEV adoption would result in climate benefits including $5.5 billion annual savings in 2030, and $12.8 bil- lion annual savings in 2050. “If you add up the numbers, the


results are clear: a strong Zero Emission Vehicle program is good for America’s health, and good for its pocketbook, too,” said Bonnie Holmes-Gen, senior

LARGEST WAGE INCREASES GO TO TRUCK DRIVERS, GLASSDOOR SAYS According to an analysis conducted


by job search website Glassdoor.com, truck driver wages surged 7.8 percent year over year in October in what repre- sented the largest jump in wages among 60 common professions. The increase was even more substantial in certain regions, including Los Angeles where pay swelled 9.3 percent. Across all industries, individual


earnings grew 2.8 percent, due to a healthy economy. “Our economy is growing, and


there are a ton of goods that need to be transported,” said Andrew Chamberlain, Glassdoor’s chief econo- mist. “Truck drivers haven’t yet been replaced by machines, and they are in very high demand.” Truck driver pay jumps are outpac-


ing increases in other high-demand industries such as healthcare, where medical assistants enjoyed a 6.3 percent wage bump. Other parts of the logistics indus-


try are following the pay trend as well. Warehousing associates saw wages swing up 7.7 percent year over year to a median $44,920. Median annual pay for truckers is


$54,000, varying widely by employer and type of hauling, while the average worker nationwide (in any category) earns a median of $51,404 annually.
