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 |
