Transportation and land use reform - elpc promotes innovative transportation solutions, including development of a midwest high-speed rail network, which will lead to cleaner air and more jobs.

Clean water - elpc attorneys and advocates implement, enforce, and defend the clean water act. We hold polluters accountable and fight to clean up midwest water, from the great lakes and big river systems to the community watersheds and small-town wells that provide drinking water, wildlife habitat, jobs, and recreational enjoyment for millions.

Clean air/climate/other - elpc attorneys and advocates implement, enforce, and defend the clean air act. We work to reduce pollutants like smog, mercury, particulate matter, and greenhouse gases that harm human health and wildlife. We bring legal firepower to clean up toxic hotspots and hold polluters accountable. And we work with legislators to improve clean air laws and regulatory standards.
