That's a good point. It could be both an environmental and non-market strategy.

I believe it could also be considered as an environmental strategy, as they are promoting their low-emission vehicles.

Because they are lobbying a regional authority for special privileges based on environmental benefits.

I agree with Layla. By getting permission to use faster lanes, AAA is addressing non-market forces.

I wonder if they'll have to disclose the number of passengers in the car when they use the fast lane. Like, 'Attention passengers: please don't all get out at the same time, or we'll get a ticket!'

Yeah, I agree. This is definitely more about gaining a strategic advantage than just being environmentally responsible. It's a non-market strategy for sure.

True, but I think the key here is that they're not just trying to be environmentally friendly - they're trying to gain a competitive edge. So it's not a pure environmental strategy, in my opinion.

But couldn't you also argue that this is an environmental strategy? They're promoting the use of low-emission vehicles, which is a sustainability-focused goal.

I agree, the non-market strategy seems like the most appropriate answer. By lobbying the regional authority, they're trying to change the rules of the game in their favor.

Hmm, this question is interesting. I think AAA is definitely pursuing a non-market strategy here. They're trying to influence the regulatory environment to get a competitive advantage, rather than just competing in the regular market.
