Subject: Simplify the Advanced Clean Fleets Program
Comment:
Twelve years ago, our organization assisted hundreds of independent
truck owners with the process of applying for the Diesel
Particulate Filter grant program. It was a very difficult and
complicated process for the owner/operator community, many of whom
were less than proficient in English. The application documentation
was particularly difficult.

We strongly encourage CARB to design the ACF incentive program to
be as simple as possible for applicants. The H-FIT program has been
very popular with the industry and quite successful in getting ZE
yard tractors into use at the Port of Oakland. The OEM vehicle
providers will get the lion's share of the funding, so let them
handle the paperwork for the purchasers.

We feel that getting ZE trucks on the road quickly is more
important than proving every mile of usage.
Thank you, Brian Beveridge - Co-Director
