Comment | Good morning! My name is Luis Alejandro Montes, the executive director of Inside Sustainability Socal, a 501[c]4 organization helping build a just and sustainable future in southern California. I am here representing over 50 members of our organization across southern California who believe that air pollution is an impact of systemic racism that working class communities. The Air Resources Board over the last several years has made huge strides in mitigating the air pollution in the communities caught in the grips of supply chain logistics. We've been addressing NOx pollution from diesel and gas trucking, as well as pollution from the ports. By passing the Clean Idling Ship rule, we will avoid hundreds of premature deaths by respiratory issues, save BILLIONS on healthcare costs from avoided trips to the hospital,especially in the working class communities of the Port of Los Angeles and Long Beach. We strongly urge the CA Air Resources Board to pass the At-Berth Regulation-- the Clean Idling Ship Rule. |
