Subject | Clean Trucks Rule |
Comment | Please support this rule. This is a critical rule to achieve our State's GHG reduction milestones. These large vehicles are on the road much more often that a typical car used by citizens. The Truck emissions are particularly toxic due to the formation of particulates and presents of carcinogens in the exhaust. California has lead the world in the development of electric vehicles. This has spawned the birth of Tesla and other smaller companies. If California maintains its leadership position, it will mean better Air Quality, lower GHG emissions, and more good-paying jobs. Those most harmed by the emissions are usually living in disadvantaged communities near freeways and narrow streets. Also, the air inversions in the central valley trap these pollutants and expose entire communities to toxic air. Some of the worst air quality in the world can be found in the central valley. |
