Comment
The draft plan mentions heavy duty trucks but there is no mention
of trains and rail yards, which CARB knows very well are
significant sources of pollution especially in low-income
communities.The low carbon fuel standard should apply to trains
and rail yard operations and intensive monitoring of GHG emissions
from rail yards needs to be conducted, with monitoring accompanied
by real regulatory power. We can't let the railroad companies be
exempt from AB 32!
