Background
California's freight transportation system is a multi-modal
system designed to move freight across the State, the nation, and
the globe. The freight system is a critical part of our economy
and a significant contributor to our air quality concerns. On
January 23, 2014, the Board adopted Resolution 14-2, which
directed staff to engage all interested stakeholders to provide
input on the development of a Strategy document by the end of
2014. The purpose of the Strategy is to identify and prioritize
actions that move California towards a sustainable freight
transport system that is characterized by improved efficiency,
zero or near-zero emissions, and increased competitiveness in the
logistics system.

ARB and its agency partners are developing technology assessments
for trucking, rail, ships/ports, cargo handling equipment,
commercial harbor craft, fuels and air cargo to inform the
Sustainable Freight Strategy and upcoming State Implementation
Plans. More information on these assessments, including separate
upcoming workshops in early September, can be found at:
