CTA joined the American Trucking Associations, the California Chamber of Commerce and more than 320 local, state, and federal trade associations on a letter urging  the administration's assistance in preventing a rail strike.
 
In the letter, more than 323 organization ask President Biden to continue to work with the railroad unions and railroads to see negotiations to a finish in order to avoid a rail shutdown, which "would have a significant impact on the U.S. economy and lead to further inflationary pressure."
 
A copy of the final letter can is available here.
 
Please join the California Air Resources Board (CARB) and the California Trucking Association for a joint webinar to discuss the Heavy-Duty Inspection and Maintenance (HD I/M) Program on Thursday, November 17 from 1:30 – 3:00 PM via Zoom. 
 
The HD I/M program commonly referred to as the Heavy-Duty Smog Check program will require fleet operators to regularly test a truck's emission control system twice a year. Initial fleet reporting is set to begin as early as July 2023 and testing frequency will increase to four times a year in 2026 or 2027. 
 
The CARB team will review the HD I/M regulation and will take questions and answers through out the webinar.
