Truck and Bus Regulation Reporting
Truck Regulations Upload and Compliance Reporting System (TRUCRS)

This page last reviewed May 7, 2012





What do I do if I missed the March 30, 2012 reporting deadline?
The regulation requires that you meet the Basic Engine Model Year Schedule requirements. There are other compliance options in the regulation that may give you more time to meet the requirements of the regulation if reported by March 30. Although the March 30 deadline has passed, you should still report per the regulatory requirements as soon as possible. ARB can exercise discretion in how we implement the regulation, and may take into consideration a good faith effort in determining compliance.

The best way to report is to use our online reporting system as it is the quickest and most efficient method. Smaller fleets can enter their information directly online.  Larger fleets can use an upload spreadsheet to report vehicle information in batches rather than one vehicle at a time. Fleet owners who already created an account with the Tractor Trailer GHG reporting or the Off-Road reporting systems, can use the same user name and password.

The regulation will reduce diesel exhaust emissions from privately owned and federal government diesel trucks and buses. Privately and publicly owned school buses have different requirements and do not need to be reported.

More Information

Who should report in 2012?
Reporting and clean-up requirements differ by gross vehicle weight rating (GVWR) as outlined below.

Lighter vehicles (GVWR 14,001 to 26,000 lbs)
  • No reporting is required. Clean-up requirements begin January 1, 2015.

Heavier vehicles (GVWR more than 26,000 lbs)
  • Small fleets with three or fewer diesel vehicles can delay compliance for heavier vehicles until January 1, 2014. Report all your heavier trucks now if any of them have 1996 to 1999 model year engines. Wait until next year to report if you do not have any.
  • All other fleets that report by January 31, 2012 will have more flexibility to bring heavier vehicles into compliance. No reporting is required for diesel truck owners that comply with the engine model year schedules and do not plan to use credits, and extensions.

Why should I report now if I already comply?
By reporting all heavier trucks that operate in California now you will be able to take advantage of the following flexibility options until 2017 if they apply:
  • PM filter phase-in option
  • Downsizing credits
  • Early compliance credits
  • Adding cleaner vehicles
  • Low mileage construction truck extension (single truck owner must report now)
  • PM filter extension for NOx exempt area operation
  • Log truck phase-in option

If I do not report now will I be able to take advantage of any extensions?
Fleets that do not report now can still take advantage of the following by reporting after 2012:
  • Small fleet phase-in option (based on engine model year)
  • Low-use exemption
  • Manufacturer delay extension
  • Replacement exemption for NOx exempt area operation
  • Replacement delay for PM filters installed by January 1, 2014
  • Annual extension if a PM filter is not available
