| Background |
The Air Resources Board (ARB) staff is committed
to the successful
implementation of the Truck and Bus
regulation and the Heavy-Duty Diesel Greenhouse Gas Emission Reduction
regulation. To assist in this effort, ARB has formed a truck
regulations advisory
committee (TRAC) to facilitate communication with its stakeholders and
to obtain stakeholder feedback on the implementation tools used for
these regulations. The goals of TRAC is to help ARB
staff
fine tune our outreach, training, and implementation materials and
provide a mechanism for stakeholders to discuss other implementation
issues.
The responsibilities of TRAC members include:
- Attend meetings that will be held approximately
4 times a year. The meetings may last from 2 to 6 hours each.
- Discuss and provide ideas on ways of reaching
and assisting affected fleets.
- Review and provide feedback on ARB's training
presentations, handouts, flyers, and fact sheets.
- Review and provide feedback on ARB's reporting
and
compliance plannng tools.
- Review and provide feedback on advisories and
guidance documents developed by ARB staff.
- Address other issues regarding regulation
implementation.
Although we had to limit TRAC membership to a finite number, all
members of the public are welcome to attend the meetings and there will
be an open comment period at the end of each meeting.
