Dear Chair Randolph and Members of the Board:

On behalf of Earthjustice, I submit the following letters from
Earthjustice supporters encouraging the California Air Resources
Board (CARB) to move forward on several life-saving regulations,
like the Commercial Harbor Craft rule, to combat deadly diesel
pollution (appended as "Attachment A").

Last year, more than 3,400 Californians submitted letters
advocating for CARB to adopt strong regulations to control
pollution from commercial harbor craft and other sources of diesel
pollution as quickly as possible. This overwhelming support for
these regulations indicates that Californians are eager for
agencies, including CARB, to take bold action to reduce emissions
from significant sources of air pollution in the State.

CARB's proposed amendments to the Commercial Harbor Craft rule is a
critical step towards reducing pollution from harbor craft, one of
the top three sources of diesel pollution at the San Pedro Bay
Ports and the Port of Oakland. This rule will provide significant
health benefits, particularly to portside communities that bear
disproportionate pollution burdens from this industry.

We appreciate your consideration of these letters, and we look
forward to working with the Air Resources Board to clean up harmful
pollution from the freight industry. 

Sincerely, 

Regina Hsu
Earthjustice
