Transportation remains a vital component of California's economy and affects the quality of life for many individuals. The current system, however, also creates challenges and problems. The state can play an important role in identifying options to help maximize the benefits currently enjoyed from transportation, and also reduce its adverse impacts. For example, the transportation sector contributes large amounts of air pollutants in California. Tailpipe and evaporative emissions contribute to the formation of ozone. Tailpipe emissions also add to carbon dioxide emissions from fossil fuel combustion. Through dependence on one fuel the state economy is vulnerable to petroleum price increases which pose an energy security risk. Reducing this risk can be achieved by developing alternative fuel vehicle technologies that offer choices for the driving public.
