I request that CARB take comprehensive and strong action to adopt
the strongest ACF rule to help greatly reduce greenhouse gas
emissions on all possible levels of transportation, etc. We must
address and end greenhouse gas emissions and toxic air pollution,
which has formerly and routinely been produced 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 will set targets for
100% electric vehicle (EV) sales by 2036, and hopefully 100%
clean-renewable energy generation for infrastructure supporting
these vehicles, thereby addressing a large source of Californian
pollution and making needed progress towards achieving 100% of
heavy-duty truck fleets in California to be zero-emission by 2045.


Adopting the required, strongest possible ACF rule will also be a
step towards a more equitable and just future for all. People
inhabiting low-income communities, and communities of color, have
been allowed to bear an unfair burden of extremely harmful
pollution from transport trucks as a result of generations of
systematic marginalization. This rule will serve to improve air
quality in communities of color that remain in close proximity to
warehouses and distribution centers, all the while generating
increases in societal benefits.

Please adopt the strongest version of the ACF rule in order to help
California continue to achieve an equitable future free of toxic
air pollution.

Thank you.
