As a person who is often in traffic, usually breathing diesel
exhaust I support any tightening of emissions regulations.

I note that many of the comments are from those with economic
interests to protect. I hope the Board will do what it can to
mitigate those economic impacts without compromising our air. The
truckers and heavy equipment operators are more likely to get lung
cancer than I am, so I hope they will not be too resistant to laws
which improve their health and may reduce their bosses medical
insurance costs.

I don't believe that businesses will abandon the large market in
California just because trucking is slightly more expensive.

I'm surprised that truckers in California aren't more in favor
since this should give them some advantage competing against firms
that are not prepared to meet California standards.

The automakers managed to meet California standards and never
abandoned this market during all the years in which CA has had the
tightest standards in the country.

In my mind the worst offense is the fact that trucks have been
under regulated for so long.
