The benefits of the proposed requirements, such as reduced sulfur dioxide emissions, will be widespread as it will improve air quality and public health. The costs, although borne by bus manufacturers, will eventually be offset by the increased demand for cleaner buses, as more environmentally conscious consumers will prefer them. Additionally, manufacturers can potentially lower costs through economies of scale and technological advancements in producing cleaner buses.
