ARB released the Proposed Strategy and the Draft Environmental Analysis (EA) for the Proposed Strategy for public review on April 11, 2016. During the workshop, ARB staff will provide a summary of the Proposed Strategy. We welcome and encourage your participation in this effort. The additional workshop will be held on the following date and time: Date: May 3, 2016 Time: 1:30 p.m. Location: San Joaquin Valley Air Pollution Control District Southern Region Office 34946 Flyover Court Bakersfield, CA 93308 Directions: http://www.valleyair.org/General_info/Directions_Bakersfield.htm This additional workshop will be webcast for those unable to attend in person. The webcast can be accessed at: http://www.valleyair.org/Workshops/public_workshops_idx.htm. Questions or comments can be submitted during the workshop to webcast@valleyair.org. The public can also attend this workshop by video conference at the air district’s Modesto and Fresno offices: Modesto Office 4800 Enterprise Way Modesto, CA 95356 Fresno Office 1990 E. Gettysburg Avenue Fresno, California 93726 Updated Public Meeting Schedule • April 26: First Public Workshop on the Proposed Strategy (Sacramento) • (NEW) May 3: Second Public Workshop on the Proposed Strategy (Bakersfield) • May 19: Board Meeting for Proposed Strategy • Late-Summer/Early-Fall: Board to consider approving a final SLCP Strategy Background Short-lived climate pollutants (SLCPs) are powerful climate forcers that remain in the atmosphere for a much shorter period of time than major climate pollutants such as carbon dioxide (CO2). Their relative potency in terms of how they heat the atmosphere can be tens to thousands of times greater than CO2. SLCPs include black carbon, methane, and fluorinated gases, including hydrofluorocarbons. The impacts of SLCPs are especially strong within the near term. Reducing these emissions can have an immediate beneficial impact on climate change. SLCP reductions are important to continuing and maintaining the greenhouse gas reductions called for by AB 32 (Nunez, Chapter 488, Statutes of 2006) and SB 605 (Lara, Chapter 523, Statutes of 2014), and to ensuring emissions meet the statewide greenhouse gas emission limit that AB 32 established. The Proposed Strategy is identified in the First Update to the Climate Change Scoping Plan as one of the recommended actions to achieve additional greenhouse gas emission reductions. SB 605 further requires ARB, in coordination with other State agencies and local air districts, to develop a strategy to further reduce SLCP emissions in California. A Draft Strategy was released for public comment on September 30, 2015. After considering comments received, ARB staff released the Proposed Strategy on April 11, 2016, which will be presented to the Board at a public meeting on May 19, 2016. The Board will not vote on the Proposed Strategy at this meeting; a second Board meeting will be scheduled for either late summer or early fall for the Board to consider approving a final SLCP Strategy, along with final environmental documents. Environmental Analysis ARB, as the lead agency for the Proposed Strategy, prepared a Draft Environmental Analysis (EA) in accordance with the requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and ARB’s regulatory program certified by the Secretary of Natural Resources (California Code of Regulation, title 17, sections 60006-60008; California Code of Regulation, title 14, section 15251, subdivision (d)). The resource areas from the CEQA Guidelines Environmental Checklist were used as a framework for a programmatic environmental analysis of the reasonably foreseeable compliance responses resulting from implementation of the proposed measures discussed in the Proposed Strategy. The Draft EA provides an analysis of both the beneficial and adverse impacts and feasible mitigation measures for the reasonably foreseeable compliance responses associated with the proposed measures under each of the 17 environmental resource areas. Collectively, the Draft EA concluded implementation of these actions could result in the following short-term and long-term beneficial and adverse impacts: beneficial long-term impacts in reduced greenhouse gas emissions; less-than-significant impacts to air quality, biological resources, energy demand, geology and soils, greenhouse gases (short-term), hazards and hazardous materials, hydrology and water quality, resources related to land use planning, mineral resources, noise, population and housing, public services, and recreational services; and potentially significant and unavoidable adverse impacts to aesthetics, agriculture and forest resources, air quality, biological resources, cultural resources, geology and soils, hazards and hazardous materials, hydrology and water quality, resources related to land use planning, noise, transportation/traffic, and utilities and service systems. The potentially significant and unavoidable adverse impacts are primarily related to short-term construction-related activities, which explains why some resource areas are identified above as having both less-than-significant impacts and potentially significant impacts. Please refer to the Draft EA for further details. Public Comments on the Proposed Strategy and Draft EA The Proposed Strategy and its appendices, including the Draft EA (Appendix C), can be obtained from ARB’s short-lived climate pollutant website at: http://www.arb.ca.gov/cc/shortlived/shortlived.htm. ARB invites comments on the Proposed Strategy and Draft EA during the 45-day public comment period that begins on April 11, 2016, and ends on May 26, 2016.

May 3, 2016 Contact: Karen Caesar (626) 575-6728 kcaesar@arb.ca.gov Stanley Young (916) 956-9409 syoung@arb.ca.gov SACRAMENTO – State agency leaders today released the Draft California Sustainable Freight Action Plan, an ambitious document that lays a foundation for modernizing California’s multi-billion dollar freight transportation system. Developed in response to Governor Brown’s Executive Order B-32-15, which calls for a single integrated action plan for California, the Draft Action Plan was drafted by the California State Transportation Agency, California Environmental Protection Agency, Natural Resources Agency, California Air Resources Board, California Department of Transportation, California Energy Commission and Governor’s Office of Business and Economic Development with broad stakeholder input. The Executive Order directs the state agencies to pursue a shared vision to “improve freight efficiency, transition to zero-emission technologies and increase the competitiveness of California’s freight system.” Benefits include meeting the state’s freight infrastructure, public health, air quality and climate goals. The Draft Action Plan responds to the Governor’s Executive Order by articulating one shared vision to improve the efficiency of California’s freight system while reducing its pollution, all the while bolstering the competitiveness of California’s goods movement system nationally and internationally. Key components of the Action Plan include: • A long-term 2050 vision and guiding principles for California’s future freight transport system. • Targets for 2030 to guide the State toward meeting its long-term vision: o Improve freight system efficiency 25 percent by 2030. o Deploy over 100,000 zero-emission vehicles/equipment and maximize near-zero by 2020. o Foster future economic growth within the freight and goods movement industry. • Identified opportunities to leverage State freight transport system investments. • Actions to initiate over the next five years to make progress towards the Draft Action Plan’s vision and target. • Pilot projects to achieve concrete progress in the near-term. • Additional concepts for further exploration and potential development. "Future investments of public dollars in freight require a smart approach that accounts for both environmental stewardship and the need for new infrastructure to accommodate a growing freight sector,” said CalSTA Secretary, Brian P. Kelly. “While some may see these as competing priorities, this Draft Action Plan suggests we don't have to choose between these important objectives, but can achieve both through more prudent planning and investment. I look forward to perfecting the document with input from our many stakeholders in the days ahead." Achieving the Draft Action Plan’s objectives will require strategic partnerships and well-coordinated investments in new technologies and major infrastructure upgrades. The plan provides an opportunity for leveraging new federal, State, local and private investment for these freight transport system improvements. California’s freight system is the most extensive and interconnected freight system in the United States and is composed of several deep water seaports, cargo airports, border crossings, and a vast warehousing and distribution sector, all connected by a network of over 11,000 miles of railroad track and Interstate and state highways. Each component is critical and the system depends on these interconnected facilities working in concert to move freight in and out of California to the rest of the nation and across the globe. California’s freight-dependent industries account for more than $740 billion in revenue and more than 5 million jobs in 2014. "This is an unprecedented effort to partner with the freight sector to help bolster the competitiveness of California's freight industry," said Governor Brown’s senior jobs adviser Mike Rossi. "The freight sector has already invested heavily in modernization and the Action Plan helps advance those efforts while reducing emissions through commercially viable and affordable technologies." While freight transport in California is a major economic engine for the state, emissions from ships, harbor craft, trucks, locomotives, cargo equipment, aircraft and other freight participants account for about half of toxic diesel particulate matter (PM 2.5), 45 percent of the emissions of nitrogen oxides (NOx) that form ozone and fine particulate matter in the atmosphere, and 6 percent of all greenhouse gas emissions in California. Many of these pollutants are emitted in close proximity to communities and pose health risks to nearby residents, highlighting the need for additional steps to protect public health. “The draft we are releasing today represents an unprecedented collaboration among government agencies, in keeping with the importance of the freight sector to our economy and our environment,” said CARB Chair Mary D. Nichols. “The plan commits to include all stakeholders at every step in the process, from refining goals and selecting pilot projects through implementation into the coming decade. Our challenge is to deliver both public health and economic benefits at our ports, on our highways, and in our communities throughout the state.” The Draft Action Plan builds on existing State agency strategies, including the California Freight Mobility Plan, Sustainable Freight Pathways to Zero and Near-Zero Emissions Discussion Document and the Integrated Energy Policy Report. Broad stakeholder input provided over the past several months, including 11 workshops across the state, inform this Draft Action Plan. The Draft Action Plan is available now for stakeholder and public feedback through July 6, 2016. Additionally, agency staff will present it as an informational item at public meetings of the California Freight Advisory Committee, the California Transportation Commission and California Air Resources Board in May. “The Energy Commission is pleased to work in partnership with our sister agencies and engaged stakeholders across the state to develop this draft action plan,” said Energy Commissioner Janea A. Scott. “Reducing pollution from our freight sector will help California to meet its clean air standards and climate goals.” The Governor’s Executive Order on Sustainable Freight can be found at: https://www.gov.ca.gov/news.php?id=19046 The Draft Action Plan is available for public review and comments at: www.casustainablefreight.org The State Agencies are requesting comments by July 6, 2016.

Brown Jr., state agency leaders today released the California Sustainable Freight Action Plan, a comprehensive document that serves as a blueprint for transforming the state’s multi-billion dollar freight transport system into one that is environmentally cleaner, more efficient, and more economically competitive than it is today. The revised document is similar to the draft version issued in May 2016, but reflects new input provided by industry, labor, regional and local government, and community and environmental group stakeholders, who submitted more than 85 comments on the draft plan. “We listened to stakeholders, incorporated changes, and we will continue to consult with them as we put the Plan into action” said California Air Resources Board Chair Mary D. Nichols. “This dialogue -- and a commitment to shared responsibility for and ownership of this plan-- is the underpinning for the successful transformation of our freight transport system and the multiple benefits it will bring to our environment, communities and our economy.” Developed in response to Governor Brown’s Executive Order B-32-15, which calls for a single integrated action plan for California, the Action Plan was prepared by the California State Transportation Agency, California Environmental Protection Agency, California Natural Resources Agency, California Air Resources Board, California Department of Transportation, California Energy Commission and the Governor’s Office of Business and Economic Development, with broad stakeholder input. "The Sustainable Freight Action Plan reflects the hard work done by the partners to address the needs of the freight industry,” said Governor Brown’s senior jobs adviser Mike Rossi. “GO-Biz will continue working with our stakeholders in the business community to see that the Action Plan builds upon ongoing efforts to modernize the freight industry while reducing emissions and keeping it competitive through commercially viable and affordable technologies." The Executive Order directs the state agencies to pursue a shared vision to “improve freight efficiency, transition to zero-emission technologies and increase the competitiveness of California’s freight system.” Benefits include meeting the state’s freight infrastructure, public health, air quality and climate goals. The Action Plan includes a long term-2050 vision and guiding principles for California’s future freight transport system along with these targets for 2030: •Improve freight system efficiency 25 percent by 2030. •Deploy over 100,000 zero-emission vehicles/equipment and maximize near-zero by 2020. •Foster future economic growth within the freight and goods movement industry. The plan also identifies opportunities to leverage State freight transport system investments, pinpoints actions to initiate over the next five years to meet goals, and lists possible pilot projects to achieve concrete progress in the near term. "This Sustainable Freight Action Plan reflects an investment strategy that’s right for California: expand economic development, create jobs and protect our environment. The plan doesn't choose between these objectives, but proposes strategies to achieve them all. I look forward to turning this plan into action,” said California State Transportation Agency Secretary Brian P. Kelly. Among the new additions to the final plan are placing more focus on key partnerships and a discussion of toxic hot spots. Changes have also been made throughout the document to clarify and emphasize the collaboration between the responsible agencies and other regional planning efforts, including funding. “The Energy Commission appreciates the collaboration amongst our sister agencies and engaged stakeholders across the state to develop an action plan to address Governor Brown's call to action on sustainable freight,” said Energy Commissioner Janea A. Scott. “We look forward to working with our partners to refine and prioritize the strategies and actions identified in the Action Plan and to carrying out actions that will help California to meet its clean air standards and climate goals.” Next steps for state agencies will include continued work with federal, state, industry, labor, regional, local and environmental and community-based partners to refine and prioritize the strategies and actions outlined in the Action Plan. The state agencies will also create collaborative stakeholder working groups on competitiveness, system efficiency, workforce developments, and regulatory and permitting process improvements. Regular California Freight Advisory Committee meetings will continue, and by July 2017, the state agencies will establish work plans for chosen pilot projects. Currently, California is the nation’s largest gateway for international trade and domestic commerce, with an interconnected system of ports, railroads, highways and roads that allow freight from around the world to move throughout the state and nation. This system is responsible for one-third of the state’s economic product and jobs, with freight dependent industries accounting for over $740 billion in gross domestic product and over five million jobs in 2014.

This workshop is described further in the workshop notice at https://www.arb.ca.gov/msprog/mailouts/mouts_16.htm. Date: Monday, February 6, 2017 Time: 9:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Place: Cal/EPA Headquarters Building, Sierra Hearing Room 1001 I Street, Sacramento, California 95814 The workshop will also be available via webcast for stakeholders unable to attend in person and can be accessed at the following link on the day of the workshop: https://video.calepa.ca.gov/. For more information about the proposed California Phase 2 GHG standards, please go to: http://www.arb.ca.gov/msprog/onroad/caphase2ghg/caphase2ghg.htm. For the potential amendments to tractor-trailer GHG regulation, please go to: https://www.arb.ca.gov/listserv/listserv_ind.php?listname=hdghg. Contact: We welcome and encourage your participation in this workshop. If you have any questions regarding the proposed California Phase 2 or potential regulatory changes to Tractor-Trailer GHG Regulation, please contact Mr. Alex Santos, Staff Air Pollution Specialist, at (626) 575-6682 or by email at alex.santos@arb.ca.gov or Ms. Mitzi Magtoto, Air Resources Engineer, at (916) 323-8975 or by email at mitzi.magtoto@arb.ca.gov. Background: On October 25, 2016, the U.S. EPA published the final federal Phase 2 GHG standards. The federal Phase 2 standards are the second phase of federal heavy–duty GHG standards and build upon the federal Phase 1 standards. The federal Phase 2 standards will significantly reduce carbon emissions and dramatically improve the fuel economy for heavy-duty tractors, helping reduce emissions that cause climate change. They establish national GHG emission standards that will begin in model year 2021 for new class 2b to 8 medium- and heavy-duty engines and tractors, and in 2018 model year for certain trailer types. The federal Phase 2 standards will be fully phased in by model year 2027. On December 11, 2008, the Board approved the Tractor-Trailer GHG regulation codified in sections 95300-95312 of title 17, California Code of Regulations, and later amended in 2010 and 2014. This regulation required owners of 53-foot or longer box-type trailers and owners of the heavy-duty tractors that pull them on California highways to utilize U.S. EPA SmartWay verified or designated technologies that will reduce GHG emissions and improve fuel efficiency. In December 2013, ARB staff harmonized the tractor requirements of the Tractor-Trailer GHG regulation with the requirements of the Phase 1 standards.
