California Air Resource Board Members

Dear  Members,

I support the inclusion of a Clean Car Discount program---also
known as
a "feebates" program---in the Scoping Plan for AB 32, the
Global Warming Solutions Act of 2006.
Studies show that a well-designed feebates program could reduce
emissions from California cars and trucks by an additional 30
percent
beyond the expected reductions from California's global warming

pollution regulations for vehicles. The self-financing program
provides
one-time rebates and surcharges on the purchase of new cars and
trucks
based on each vehicle's level of global warming pollution, helping
to
make clean cars and trucks more affordable for all Californians.

Approximately 1.7 million new passenger cars and light-duty trucks
are
purchased each year in California. Even with existing laws and
regulations, the bulk of global warming emissions in California
continue to come from passenger vehicles.

The California Clean Car Discount is an urgently needed part of
California's ground-breaking package of global warming solutions.
I
urge you to include a feebates program in the Scoping Plan for AB
32.

Sincerely,

Ms. Margaret Tollner
