Comment | Please 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 California's 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 heavy-duty trucks as a result of generations of systematic marginalization. This rule would improve air quality in communities of color in close proximity to warehouses and distribution centers 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. |
