This page last reviewed on May 6, 2009
Background:
Through
the Global Warming Solutions Act of 2006 (
AB 32
),
California
has
committed to reducing greenhouse gas (GHG
) emissions to 1990 levels by
2020. The AB 32
Scoping
Plan
,
adopted by the ARB
in December
2008,
outlines the measures to be implemented to meet California’s greenhouse
gas emission (GHG) reduction goals and calls on all sectors, including
the freight transport sector, to reduce GHG emissions.
Measure
T-6 in the AB 32 Scoping Plan, “Freight Transport Efficiency Measures”
is a broad-based and multi-faceted measure that will achieve at least a
3.5 million metric tons of carbon dioxide (CO2) equivalent (MMTCO2E)
reduction in GHG emissions from the freight transport sector by 2020.
