Truck and Bus Regulation)
This last revised May 8, 2008 The Proposed
Regulatory Language to be updated. What's New: Public Workshops to be held in May and June 2008 (Posted Apr. 25, 2008)
We
invite you to
participate in the next series of public workshops to discuss revised
proposed regulatory language to reduce emissions from existing
diesel-fueled trucks, buses,
and other vehicles operating in California. In addition to discussing
revisions to the proposed regulation, staff will also discuss revised
emission benefits and cost estimates, revisions to the Public Agency
and Utility Regulation, and how school
districts would be affected by the proposed regulation. The workshops
will be held during the day and in some locations, in the
evening as well, with breakout sessions to discuss the proposed school
bus requirements.

Diesel Truck and Bus Survey (Nov. 16, 2007)
We have posted an on-line
survey
to gather information on the use of heavy-duty diesel vehicles in
California. The purpose of the survey is to better understand the age
and use of diesel vehicles used in different operations such as
long-haul, local delivery, and other types of operations. We would like
any person, business or corporation that owns or is leasing, for twelve
months or more, any diesel powered truck, bus, pickup, or other vehicle
to complete the survey. A
hard copy version is also available.

The Air Resources Board (ARB) staff is developing a regulation
to reduce diesel particulate matter (PM) and other emissions from
in-use heavy-duty diesel powered vehicles operating in California. A
proposed regulation is planned to be presented to the Air Resources
Board in October 2008. The proposed regulation would apply to diesel
shuttle buses, vehicles greater than 14,000 pounds Gross Vehicle Weight
Rating (GVWR), and does not include pickups.
