Comment
MY name is Mandeera Wijetunga and I am a climate campaigner at the
Pacific Environment. I wanted to submit this public comment
supporting the proposed commercial harbor craft rule and urge the
California air resource board to adopt a stronger rule.
Diesel harbor craft are one of the top three cancer risks in my
community as a result of their particulate matter emissions.
While California claims to be a leader on climate action, we
continue to concentrate impacts in low-income communities and
communities of color.​

We need to strengthen the rule to eliminate fossil fuel pollution
and advance zero-emissions technologies.​
I urge the Board to require a 100% zero-emissions transition for
the majority of harbor boats by 2035, including tugboats and
barges, which are excluded from the current rule ​
