Subject | I support the Advance Clean Fleets rule! |
Comment | I urge CARB to take comprehensive and strong action to adopt the strongest possible ACF rule! There is no time to waste in addressing air pollution in our state, especially from the transportation sector. A strong ACF rule implements a zero-emission purchase requirement for fleets of medium and heavy-duty trucks and would set targets for 100% electric vehicle (EV) sales by 2036, addressing a huge source of Californian pollution and making great progress towards achieving Gov. Newsoms executive order that requires 100% of heavy-duty truck fleets in California to be zero-emission by 2045. Adopting the strongest possible ACF rule would also be a large step towards a more equitable and just future for all. Low-income and communities of color bear an unfair burden of harmful pollution from these trucks as a result of generations of systematic marginalization and this rule would improve air quality in communities of color in close proximity to warehouses and distribution centers all the while generating more than $10 billion in societal benefits. Please, make sure to adopt the strongest version of the ACF rule and help California achieve an equitable future free of air pollution. |
