Health, business and environmental justice groups are calling on Governor Newsom to veto AB 1122, AB 1296, AB 637 and AB 3179, which combined are a major threat to the state’s landmark clean truck and port pollution standards.

If Governor Newsom doesn't veto these bills by September 30, there could be a significant weakening of the ACF and CHC standards – impacting thousands of businesses, workers and communities relying on electrification of transportation and shipping to clean up California’s worst-in-the-nation air pollution, particularly in frontline communities living near ports and highways. 

LEADING THE CHARGE FOR ELECTRIC TRUCKS

As the transportation sector moves towards a zero-emissions future, fleet operators and municipalities have made significant strides in building out electric vehicle (EV) charging infrastructure. This collection highlights a handful of the many successful medium- and heavy-duty infrastructure projects that have already been deployed across California. The resources below demonstrate the diverse public, private and utility investments for ZEV infrastructure that will support scaled infrastructure deployment.

Why Lowering the Advanced Clean Fleet (ACF) Tractor Fleet Threshold to 10 is Necessary and Feasible

A new white paper from expert advocates finds that reducing the fleet size threshold for tractors to 10 in the high priority portion of the proposed ACF rule will:

• Reduce NOx and PM 2.5 emissions by 16% and GHG emissions by 13% for tractors.2 

• Significantly reduce driver misclassification for fleets from 10-50 by being protected by the “common ownership and control” language in the rule.
