Subject | Propsosed Under Inflated Tire Regulation |
Comment | Under your proposed compliance requirements to check and inflate the tires when performing ANY automotive maintenance or repair service is impracticable and cost prohibitive. Any properly managed fleet performs the air pressure inflation during all scheduled maintenance; weather is meets or exceeds the vehicle manufacturer’s recommendations. Our fleet, a public agency fleet, that includes public works, police and fire vehicles, performs tire maintenance and inflation during each of our scheduled maintenance every 2,500 miles. Our issue is the repair service, criteria in the regulation for compliance requirement as some of our vehicles have frequent “repair service” that are unrelated to tire or vehicle maintenance, I.E. Emergency light repairs, Mobile Data Computer modems off line, gun lock, GPS locators not working, trunk key broken, fuel cap missing, to name a small segment of fleet related activities unrelated to tire maintenance. The expectation to check the inflation of all tires, when performing ANY repair service would not achieve the reduction of green house gases this regulation seeks, as these vehicles tires already are already properly inflated as a result of proper maintenance procedures and a well managed fleet operation. |
