| Comment | I urge you, California Air Resources Board to adopt the strongest
and most stringent possible Advanced Clean Fleets (ACF) rule. Lets
act to provide all state residents and visitors the least polluted
air possible.
A strong ACF rule implements a zero-emission purchase requirement
for fleets of medium and heavy-duty trucks and would set targets
for 100% electric vehicle (EV) sales by 2036, addressing a huge
source of Californian pollution and making great progress towards
achieving Gov. Newsoms executive order requiring 100% of heavy-duty
truck fleets in California be zero-emission by 2045.
Adopting the strongest possible ACF rule would also be a large step
towards a more equitable and just future for all. Low-income and
communities of color bear an unfair burden of harmful pollution
from these trucks as a result of generations of systematic
marginalization and this rule would improve air quality in
communities of color in close proximity to warehouses and
distribution centers all the while generating more than $10 billion
in societal benefits.
Please, adopt the strongest version of the ACF rule and help
California achieve an equitable future free of air pollution.
Thanks for your consideration of my opinion.
