| Subject | Support for a Stronger Commercial Harbor Craft Regulation |
| Comment | MY name is Mandeera Wijetunga and I am a climate campaigner at the Pacific Environment. I wanted to submit this public comment supporting the proposed commercial harbor craft rule and urge the California air resource board to adopt a stronger rule. Diesel harbor craft are one of the top three cancer risks in my community as a result of their particulate matter emissions. While California claims to be a leader on climate action, we continue to concentrate impacts in low-income communities and communities of color. We need to strengthen the rule to eliminate fossil fuel pollution and advance zero-emissions technologies. I urge the Board to require a 100% zero-emissions transition for the majority of harbor boats by 2035, including tugboats and barges, which are excluded from the current rule |
