Comment
Hello. As a single owner operator with a 2006 engine  from
Vancouver BC, I am very happy to read about the new regulations. I
am 100% behind cleaner air. I began traveling to your state in 1985
and do remember the smog. But being from out of state, that does
not allow me to qualify for any Grants to upgrade my truck.My truck
only has around 450000 miles on it and is kept in excellent
condition so that I can get the maximum fuel efficiency from it.I
also have a APS installed to be able to idle and be compliant. The
new proposal will allow me to save up a higher down payment for a
new truck. I cannot qualify for a loan due to my bad credit, a
result from a divorce and the down turn in the economy. The
proposal would allow me to keep operating for my long time
customers.   It is well known that the new trucks cost a lot more
to operate with all the clean air technology. But I do have a
question. Why isn't my truck allowed on a Port ? It makes no sense
that my truck is compliant for the entire State, but not in a Port.
Will this change ? 
Thank you for the opportunity to comment on this.
Regards
