Air Quality Overview and Health Impacts Diesel Emissions Reductions Programs The Air Quality “Trifecta” in California Enforcement & Responsible Parties “Sustainable Freight Strategy” Questions and Answers

California is a “Nation-State”

Stats 37 million residents Ranks as the 6th or 7th

largest economy globally About 25% of domestic

logistics revenue touches the state

25 million light gasoline vehicles

Over 1 million diesel vehicles

Recognized nationally and internationally for emissions reductions programs

California Trade Corridors

Seaports and rail facilities are located in areas with high population density

Economic and environmental justice are concerns in these areas

The communities surrounding the ports have driven much of the change toward lower emissions

A public policy and economic tug of war continues on how to fund needed infrastruture

California Air Regulatory Overview

Three Levels The United States

Environmental Protection Agency implements federal law relating to stationary and mobile sources of emissions

CARB implements mobile source controls

The 35 local Air Districts have some role in mobile sources but concentrate on stationary sources

CARB Structure

Twelve member Board State legal authority to protect the public from pollution The United States EPA acts upon “waiver” requests from

CARB in order for CARB to enact fleet rules Other states are adopting California-style rules (e.g. South

Carolina Port Trucking)

CARB is Almost 50 Years Old

Major initiatives: Catalytic converters Lead removal from gasoline Low sulfur diesel MTBE/oxygenated fuels Low emission cars:

Strategy 1: Cleaner Fuels

Stringent Diesel Fuel Standards (15 ppm sulfur diesel

and aromatics 2006)

Low Carbon Fuel Standard (10% less carbon intensity

by 2020)

The State’s strategy has officially been “fuel neutral”

however grants and incentives for alternative fuels and

biofuels have existed for many years

The South Coast AQMD strategy jump started natural

gas vehicles (NGVs)

~ 4,538 Transit Buses

~ 3,632 Light- and Medium-Duty Public Fleet Vehicles

~ 1,886 Refuse Trucks

~ 1,965 School Buses

~ 526 Heavy-Duty PublicFleet Vehicles

~ 300 Street Sweepers

~ 856 Taxicabs and Airport Shuttles

Fuel Pathways Affecting (GHG) Emissions

Strategy 2: Burn Fuel More Cleanly

Diesel motor vehicles number approximately 400,000 in-state

registration and in excess of 600,000 visit the state annually

Waiting for turnover is not fast enough to meet federal standards

Diesel Risk Reduction Plan of 2000

(Reduce PM exposure 75% by 2010 and 85% by 2020)

Stringent Engine Certification Standards

(2007 PM and 2010 NOx)

In – Use Programs

(“The 3 Rs”: Retrofit, Repower, Replace + Incentives and

Enforcement) = Clean Green Engines and Vehicles

Strategy 2: Implementation• Urban buses - 2000

• School bus and delivery vehicle idling - 2003

• Solid waste collection vehicles - 2003

• Transport refrigeration units - 2004

• Stationary compression ignition engines - 2004

• Truck idling - 2004

• Portable engines - 2004

• Locomotive and harbor craft fuel – 2004

Strategy 2: Implementation• Transit fleet vehicles - 2005

• Public agencies and utility on-road fleets - 2005

• Port/rail cargo handling equipment - 2005

• Ship auxiliary engine fuels - 2005

• Off-road (e.g. construction and mining) vehicles - 2007

• Drayage (port) trucks - 2007

• Commercial harbor craft - 2008

• Statewide trucks and buses

CARB Port-related Regulations

Phase 1: 2009 through 2013

20,000 heavy truck required diesel particulate filters or replacement statewide

In Los Angeles & Long Beach, replacement was required by 2012

Phase 2: 2014 through 2022

Heavy trucks that were retrofit must be replaced with 2010 or newer engines

Strategy 3: Burn Less Fuel

Who gets stopped for an inspection?

• Inspections are Random− Excessively smoking vehicles− Pre-2007 trucks with no filters will be easier to spot

What are they looking for?

• Engine labels• Filter labels• Excessive

Delinquent Citation Enforcement

• DMV “registration holds” (~2000 to date)• CHP “out of service process” per Vehicle Code

section 27159 (~500 to date -- vehicles held)• CARB obtains judgments in Sacramento

Superior Court under authority of California Health and Safety Code section 44011.6 (~ 3,500 obtained to date)
