The original intent of building the beltway was to enable heavy-duty vehicles to bypass the densely populated neighborhoods, and thereby ease traffic congestion in the inner-city roads. We combine rich panel data on road congestion, ambient NO x concentrations (as a signature of diesel exhaust), and hospital admissions and deaths.

Another plus: no tailpipe pollution. While traditional gas motorcycles use less gasoline and thus have lower emissions than passenger cars, motorcycle exhaust is higher in smog-forming pollutants and poisonous carbon monoxide, meaning that electric motorcycles (and EVs in general) are a great option to significantly improve air quality.

But the problem is going to come in 2035 when they exhaust that 40%. Transporting goods out of that environment tends to have an overly heavy effect, particularly on less opportune communities because they’re kind of built around the port, so they’re very sensitive to that pollution. With current technology, they can hit those numbers.
