Comment | Good evening, I want to begin by thanking everyone for the progress that has been done so far for the Advance Clean Truck Rule. However, we need to implement stricter rules for the health and well being of the communities. My name is Belen Gutierrez and I live in Jurupa Valley California, in a small community called Bell Town. All around our homes there are warehouses and businesses that utilize trucks all day and every day. I don't see children playing anymore. What I see now are semi-trucks constantly passing by. My father has lived in this home for 30 years and for the past 5 years he has struggled with lung issues. The air had gotten so bad that the doctors recommended him to spend less time outside the house. Right now with COVID 19, these implications are worse for him. I urge you to consider the lives of those who have been struggling with health issues because of truck pollution and are now hit with COVID 19. There is uncertainty with this virus, but you all can make the future more certain for my father and other communities in regard to air pollution. Please help reduce the risk of health complications and death. We need CARB to adjust zero-emission vehicle (ZEV) sales percentages for class 7-8 trucks to start with 12% in 2024 and 80% by 2034. Thank you for your time. |
