Government Affairs Update
 
Join CTA & CARB Webinar on Advanced Clean Fleets
Please join the California Trucking Association and the California Air Resources Board for a joint webinar to discuss the proposed Advanced Clean Fleets (ACF) regulation on 
Thursday, September 15
3:30 – 5:00 PM
Via Zoom
 
The ACF regulation will require fleets to turnover their trucks from diesel to zero-emission vehicles.
 
The regulation affects fleets in the drayage sector and an entity that meets the qualification of a “High Priority Fleet,” which is defined as an entity with 50 or more vehicles or with annual revenue of more than $50 million a year.
 
Any fleet with operation at one of California's ports will be subject to the ACF regulation regardless of fleet size. The regulation will go before the CARB for a vote on Thursday, October 27, 2022.
 
The CARB team will review the ACF regulation and will take questions and answers at the end of the webinar.
 
This webinar is avialable free of charge only for CTA Members.
