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 this 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 throughout the webinar.
 
This webinar is free to members.
