At the meetings, we will solicit input on our effort to develop a new emission reduction plan for goods movement, focusing on ports, rail yards, and major transportation corridors. The public meetings will be held from 6:30 – 9:30 pm, on October 11 in Long Beach and November 1 in Oakland. Please see the complete meeting notice at: http://arb.ca.gov/planning/gmerp/gmerp.htm. If you will be able to participate, we would appreciate a quick RSVP to aid our planning. To RSVP or for questions, please contact Jeff Weir at (916) 445-0098 or via email at jweir@arb.ca.gov. This effort is the next step in implementing the Goods Movement Action Plan – Phase I developed by the California Business, Transportation and Housing Agency and the California Environmental Protection Agency. The emission reduction plan will also be an essential component of California's effort to meet new federal air quality standards for ozone and fine particulate matter (PM2.5).

The plan includes an assessment of statewide health impacts from emissions related to ports and international goods movement, and specific actions necessary to reduce those emissions and protect public health. The plan is available on ARB’s website at http://www.arb.ca.gov/planning/gmerp/gmerp.htm along with information on related activities. The draft emission reduction plan is part of the broader Goods Movement Action Plan being jointly carried out by the California Environmental Protection Agency (Cal/EPA) and the Business, Transportation & Housing Agency (BT&H). Information about the Cal/EPA – BT&H effort can be found at: http://www.arb.ca.gov/gmp/gmp.htm. PUBLIC INPUT: ARB staff will refine the draft emission reduction plan, based on input from the general public, affected industries, the Cal/EPA and BT&H Goods Movement Action Plan work groups, local air districts and other stakeholders. The health risk assessment will undergo peer review concurrent with the public review process. Public workshops on the plan will be scheduled early next year. Finally, an ARB public hearing on the emission reduction plan will be held in Spring of 2006 (exact date to be determined).
