Subject: Trains need to be included!
Comment:
The draft plan mentions heavy duty trucks but there is no mention of trains and rail yards, which CARB knows very well are significant sources of pollution especially in low-income communities.The low carbon fuel standard should apply to trains and rail yard operations and intensive monitoring of GHG emissions from rail yards needs to be conducted, with monitoring accompanied by real regulatory power. We can't let the railroad companies be exempt from AB 32!
