| Comment | COMMENTS ON AB 32 PROPOSED SCOPING PLAN, SUBMITTED BY SIERRA CLUB CALIFORNIA, November 19, 2008 7. Vehicle Efficiency Measures (p. 29) • We support vehicle efficiency measures, such as fuel-efficient tire standards. 8. Goods Movement (p. 29) • We support the ship electrification in ports approved by CARB in 2007. • Requiring on-dock electric rail and electric drayage would eliminate all diesel emissions inside the port. • We want to know more details of the Plan’s proposed “Goods Movement Efficiency Measures - System-Wide Efficiency Improvements,” which CARB has predicted will yield savings of 3.5 tons. • CARB should work with state transportation agencies to plan commercially viable electric rail systems that would replace diesel trucks and trains. That move would also reduce congestion along California’s highways, potentially lowering total vehicle emissions. |
