Dear California Air Resources Board:

Please accept these 3,476 public comments from members and online
activists of the Natural Resources Defense Council (NRDC) urging
you to adopt a strengthened Advanced Clean Fleets rule. While there
are many aspects of the proposal we support, including requiring
all new medium- and heavy-duty vehicles to be zero emission by
2036, the proposal falls short in cleaning up the largest and
dirtiest vehicles on our roads. 

Californians have had to deal with dangerous levels of nitrogen
oxide (NOx) and particulate matter (PM) in our air for too long.
This is an equity issue: communities of color and low-income
communities are most likely to be nearby major freight routes and
therefore exposed to a disproportionate share of this pollution. As
a result, residents face greater risks of asthma, lung cancer,
heart disease, and strokes.

The current proposal leaves too many of California's buses and
trucks unaccounted for. In addition, it would fail to get us to
100% zero-emission truck fleets by the Governor's goal of 2045.
Therefore, I urge the Board to adopt the Advanced Clean Fleets rule
and direct staff to develop additional standards to further
accelerate the transition to zero-emission technologies and
prioritize cleaning up California's tractor truck fleets.

There's no time to waste when it comes to cleaning up our air. I
urge you to adopt the strengthened proposal and begin work on
additional standards to further address freight pollution.

Thank you.
