Hello CA Air Resource Board, 

Years ago, in 1974 I was fortunate to be able to attend the
University of Athens for a semester abroad. It was an incredible
experience, one I treasure to this day. Except, every day I found
myself gasping for breath.  Little did I know that with every
breath I took, I was inhaling a toxic mix of diesel exhaust, moist
air, lead particulate, and more.

After I returned, I learned more about air pollution, and how our
everyday choices contribute to pollution.  I vowed to do all I
could to reduce emissions from the air. 

I walked to work for 15 years, took the bus to work for 10 years,
bought a Prius, and since 2015 I drive an all electric Leaf for
work & personal use.

I wholeheartedly support the Innovative Clean Transit Rule unveiled
on August 7. I urge the board to support and adopt that rule before
the end of this year. The rule will help deliver clean air across
the state.

The rule will also advance technology, and support good jobs in the
burgeoning California electric bus manufacturing sector.

Thank you,
