| Comment | Our company has been impacted profoundly by the recession in
construction. We have gone from approximately 330 employees to
around 200 employees. These changes being considered to the on-road
and off-road diesel emission laws would be a small step towards
helping to keep us in business.
We hope for more far reaching measures in construction for On-Road
Diesel. If you were to increase the low-use mileage exemption for
construction to 15,000 miles per year, this would be another step
in the right direction. Our on road vehicles have been used far
less than they used to be due to the recession, and when they are
used they are on jobsites for the most part, so they are a very
small part of diesel emissions.
