Vidaurre co-founded the People's Collective for Environmental Justice, an organization dedicated to addressing the environmental health challenges faced by working-class, predominantly
Latino communities in the Inland Empire, which includes
Riverside and
San Bernardino counties. The area has become one of the largest warehousing and logistics hubs in the United States, resulting in high levels of
air pollution that disproportionately affect residents’ health. As a policy analyst, Vidaurre played a critical role in advocating for the passage of two landmark regulations by the
California Air Resources Board (CARB) in 2023. These regulations include the In-Use Locomotive Rule, which represents the nation’s first emissions regulation on train locomotives, These regulatory achievements are expected to substantially improve air quality for communities across California, setting a precedent for emissions reductions in freight transportation. == Recognition ==
