Posted: 02 Jul 2015 15:37:11
The Air Resources Board (ARB or Board) staff has posted an update to the Sustainable Freight Pathways to Zero and Near-Zero Discussion Document (Discussion Document). The Discussion Document describes the actions that respond to the Board’s direction to identify, prioritize, and recommend specific measures and actions to reduce health risk from diesel particulate matter and meet the State’s air quality attainment and climate needs During the April Board meeting, the Board heard an informational update on the Discussion Document, considered testimony, and adopted Resolution 15-22. Moving forward, staff will work to incorporate direction received via Board Resolution 15-22 and anticipates coming back to the Board with an update on freight activities in late 2015. The update to the Discussion Document contains Resolution 15-22, and a new Forward, which describes the clarifications made as a part of the update, a link to the April 23 Board meeting transcript, and a link to the written public comments on the Discussion Draft. The update to the Discussion Document is available electronically on the Sustainable Freight Transport Initiative website: http://www.arb.ca.gov/gmp/sfti/sfti.htm.

ARB staff is working with the State's transportation and energy agencies, as well as its economic development office, local partners, and stakeholders to develop a comprehensive, integrated plan - the California Sustainable Freight Strategy. To inform that effort, the Sustainable Freight: Pathways to Zero and Near-Zero Emissions Discussion Document sets out ARB's vision of a clean freight system, together with the immediate and near-term steps that ARB will take to support use of zero and near-zero emission technology. Following public comment and Board direction at its April 23, 2015 meeting, ARB has posted an updated Discussion Document and will be focusing on the integrated Sustainable Freight Strategy. The full Strategy will include additional measures to reduce emissions to meet State Implementation Plan needs and other objectives. California is in a drought emergency.
