Tire Pressure Program



In 2006, California adopted the California Global Warming Solutions Act, also known as AB32. This law created a comprehensive, long term plan for California to reduce greenhouse gas emissions to 1990 levels by 2020. To create this plan, ARB staff worked with a broad range of stakeholders to develop 44 strategies. Of these strategies, 9 were identified as "Early Actions" that could be in place no later than January 1, 2010. The Tire Pressure Strategy was identified as one of these Early Actions. While current Federal law requires auto manufactures to install tire pressure monitoring systems in all new vehicles beginning September 1, 2007, owners of older vehicles will lack this important tool to help them reduce their climate change emissions. ARB staff is currently investigating various options to ensure that tire pressures in older vehicles are also properly maintained.
