Written below are my comments on board item act19. 

Let's get  in place protections like the Advanced Clean Truck rule.
Weve long known that our air quality crisis leaves Californians
with ugly air and worsens and shortens lives. In light of new
research from Harvard that connects COVID-19 mortality to long-term
exposure to air pollution.  Shift heavy polluters like diesel
trucks to zero emissions. 

Stay the course and pass a strong Advanced Clean Truck rule, as
well as other transportation regulations that will promote a
zero-emissions future. We cant afford to lose ground on key public
health measures during a public health crisis.  

California has long proven that we can clean up our air and protect
our climate while stewarding a strong economy. Regulations like the
Advanced Clean Truck rule can spur thousands of new clean energy
jobs. They will play an important role in Californias economic
recovery while also saving everyday Californians from the economic
toll of lost workdays and the healthcare costs of pollution-related
illness. Its time for everyone to do their part for Californias air
 and all of our lungs.
