| Comment | Please take comprehensive and strong action to adopt the strongest
possible ACF rule.There is no time to waste in addressing air
pollution in our state, especially from the transportation sector.
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 California's pollution and making great progress towards
achieving Gov. Newsoms executive order that requires 100% of
heavy-duty truck fleets in California to 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 heavy-duty trucks as a result of generations of systematic
marginalization. This rule would improve air quality in communities
of color in close proximity to warehouses and distribution centers
while generating more than $10 billion in societal benefits.
Please, make sure to adopt the strongest version of the ACF rule
and help California achieve an equitable future free of air
pollution.
