bus-act -- Online Annual Reporting is now open for the Fleet Rule for Transit Agencies.
Posted: 13 Dec 2016 11:19:13
An annual report of each transit agency’s fleet composition of urban buses and transit fleet vehicles for the 2016 calendar year is due to the Air Resources Board no later than January 31, 2017. The website for the Online Annual Reporting Database is found at: https://www.arb.ca.gov/msprog/bus/rptg/index.php . All transit agencies subject to Fleet Rule for Transit Agencies are required to log in and update their fleet list reflecting changes to the fleet for the 2016 calendar year. If no changes occurred in 2016, the transit agency must still log in, and complete the survey to confirm the fleet composition is correct by finalizing the reporting process. This will be the last year reporting is required for medium and smaller size transit agencies with less than 150 urban buses. Transit agencies operating 150 or more urban buses must continue reporting annually through 2027. If you have any questions, please contact Ms. Shirin Barfjani, at shirin.barfjani@arb.ca.gov or at (916) 445-6017. 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. The control measure would support the use of renewable fuels, low NOx engines when available, and the phase-in zero emission buses and other modes over time.
