Monthly column answers diesel topics. FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE October 8, 2009 Mary Fricke (916)322-2990 Karen Caesar (626)575-6728 www.arb.ca.gov ARB Debuts California Trucking Q and A “Truckin’ News Q and A” is a new monthly column published by the California Air Resources Board to answer questions from the heavy duty diesel driving community regarding compliance with ARB regulations that affect the trucking industry. Each month the column will address questions concerning both current and upcoming regulations and will provide answers that we hope are concise and easy to understand. Topics will include the State Heavy Duty Truck and Bus regulation, SmartWay technologies for long haul trucks and trailers, port and drayage truck requirements, and other laws and activities pertaining to diesel engine owners. The first column will feature the most commonly asked questions about the upcoming deadlines for trucks that service the ports. “This regular feature will offer a great opportunity for truckers to learn not only the details of our trucking regulations, but also the reasons they have been adopted. California leads the nation in its efforts to clean up air quality, and truckers play a vital role in making that happen,” said Tony Brasil, Chief of ARB’s Heavy Duty Diesel In-Use Strategies Branch. Brasil, an ARB veteran who has traveled the state soliciting stakeholder input on a variety of ARB measures, will pen the column. He enjoys tackling tough questions from the public and will be regularly tapping into the expertise of ARB management and staff to best cover all the topics. ”California Trucking Q & A” can be added to any print or online publication as a syndicated feature. Many readers will be surprised to learn some of the facts regarding ARB diesel regulations, deadlines, compliance options, and financial assistance opportunities. In the future, readers may also have an opportunity to submit their own questions on the “Truckin’ News Q and A” website. If you have a question you would like to see answered in the “Truckin’ News Q and A” column, email it to CAtruckinqanda@arb.ca.gov A listserve will also be available in the first issue to subscribe to the monthly Truckin’ News Q and A.” ###
