The California Air Resources Board is seeking information and ideas from fleets on possible amendments to the truck and bus regulation and off-road regulation.


CARB is asking fleets to share information by June 1.

On-road fleets are asked to fill out the Truck Fleet and Financial Information Survey. This fleet data and financial information will help CARB evaluate the impact of the economy on individual businesses subject to the truck and bus regulation. The survey also requests the DOORS ID for fleets that have off-road vehicles as well.

This survey can be accessed by clicking here.

From off-road fleets, CARB is looking for suggestions for relief and amendments to the off-road regulation, which is the same survey handed out at the May 2010 workshops. This survey can be accessed by clicking here.

CARB is also seeking off-road operating hours and fuel data for vehicles. For fleets that have not already provided operating hours data to DOORS to receive reduced activity credit, CARB would like additional activity data. To submit this data, log into DOORS, go to the green bottom portion of the DOORS Reporting home screen, select Survey from the menu, and click Take Action.

The board would also like to have off-road diesel vehicle load factor data from fleets, dealerships or manufacturers that are willing to share the information. Data may be shared without indication of owner, serial number, etc. CARB is interested in any information that could help demonstrate what load factors are for various types of equipment, but also specifically at the engine control unit (ECU) downloads that display either an average load factor or a table of time spent in different load factor bins. If you're willing to share this information, contact Nicole Dolney at ndolney@arb.ca.gov.

The board has posted a video of the presentations given at the May 6 workshops that covered proposed amendments to the two regulations. To view the recording, go to http://www.arb.ca.gov/msprog/onrdiesel/workshops.htm.
