Dear Chair Nichols and Members of the Board,

I urge you to approve the strengthened staff proposal for the
Advanced Clean Trucks ("ACT") Rule. I feel strongly about this rule
because the sooner and faster we start the transition to zero
emission trucks the cleaner the air in the East Bay where I live
will become.  In addition, please commit to timelines for
transitioning to electric trucks in California. This will send a
clear signal that most trucks should become electric by 2040. 
This proposal should add about 8,000 high quality jobs. It will
turn what was once a polluting industry into a green one. Electric
vehicles save money in fuel and operation costs, which results in
lower costs for businesses and consumers. As we come out of the
COVID-19 crisis, job creation will be paramount and this proposal
would help to get us back on our feet. 

Thank you.
