Reporting is now available for use by agencies subject to the
Fleet Rule for Transit Agencies.  An annual report of a transit
agency’s urban buses and transit fleet vehicles as of 
January 1, 2016 is due to the Air Resources Board no later than
January 31, 2016.

Background

The Fleet Rule for Transit Agencies is designed to reduce both
diesel particulate matter (PM) and oxides of nitrogen (NOx)
emitted by urban buses and transit fleet vehicles that are owned
and leased by transit agencies.  The rule mandates that transit
fleet agencies meet emission reduction requirements for both
diesel PM and NOx, which can be achieved through the use of
alternative fuels and through the application of Best Available
Control Technology (BACT). 

Proposed amendments to the Fleet Rule for Transit Agencies,
called Advanced Clean Transit, are currently in development as
part of ARB’s strategy to transition heavy-duty vehicles to zero
and near-zero emission technologies to meet air quality, climate
and public health protection goals.  This proposal will include
requirements to use renewable fuels, to upgrade to low NOx
engines when available, and to phase-in zero emission buses over
time.
