arbcombo -- FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

State releases final plan to transform freight system


Collaborative effort highlights new technologies to improve air
quality, help economy grow


Sacramento – In response to an Executive Order issued last year
by Governor Edmund G. Brown Jr., state agency leaders today
released the California Sustainable Freight Action Plan, a
comprehensive document that serves as a blueprint for
transforming the state's multi-billion dollar freight transport
system into one that is environmentally cleaner, more efficient,
and more economically competitive than it is today.


The revised document is similar to the draft version issued in
May 2016, but reflects new input provided by industry, labor,
regional and local government, and community and environmental
group stakeholders, who submitted more than 85 comments on the
draft plan.


"We listened to stakeholders, incorporated changes, and we will
continue to consult with them as we put the Plan into action"
said California Air Resources Board Chair Mary D. Nichols. "This
dialogue -- and a commitment to shared responsibility for and
ownership of this plan-- is the underpinning for the successful
transformation of our freight transport system and the multiple
benefits it will bring to our environment, communities and our
economy."


Developed in response to Governor Brown's Executive Order
B-32-15, which calls for a single integrated action plan for
California, the Action Plan was prepared by the California State
Transportation Agency, California Environmental Protection
Agency, California Natural Resources Agency, California Air
Resources Board, California Department of Transportation,
California Energy Commission and the Governor's Office of
Business and Economic Development, with broad stakeholder input.


"The Sustainable Freight Action Plan reflects the hard work done
by the partners to address the needs of the freight industry,"
said Governor Brown's senior jobs adviser Mike Rossi. "GO-Biz
will continue working with our stakeholders in the business
community to see that the Action Plan builds upon ongoing efforts
to modernize the freight industry while reducing emissions and
keeping it competitive through commercially viable and affordable
technologies."


The Executive Order directs the state agencies to pursue a shared
vision to "improve freight efficiency, transition to
zero-emission technologies and increase the competitiveness of
California's freight system." Benefits include meeting the
state's freight infrastructure, public health, air quality and
climate goals.


The Action Plan includes a long term-2050 vision and guiding
principles for California's future freight transport system along
with these targets for 2030:


•Improve freight system efficiency 25 percent by 2030.
•Deploy over 100,000 zero-emission vehicles/equipment and
maximize near-zero by 2020.
•Foster future economic growth within the freight and goods
movement industry.


The plan also identifies opportunities to leverage State freight
transport system investments, pinpoints actions to initiate over
the next five years to meet goals, and lists possible pilot
projects to achieve concrete progress in the near term.


"This Sustainable Freight Action Plan reflects an investment
strategy that's right for California: expand economic
development, create jobs and protect our environment. The plan
doesn't choose between these objectives, but proposes strategies
to achieve them all. I look forward to turning this plan into
action," said California State Transportation Agency Secretary
Brian P. Kelly.


Among the new additions to the final plan are placing more focus
on key partnerships and a discussion of toxic hot spots. Changes
have also been made throughout the document to clarify and
emphasize the collaboration between the responsible agencies and
other regional planning efforts, including funding.


"The Energy Commission appreciates the collaboration amongst our
sister agencies and engaged stakeholders across the state to
develop an action plan to address Governor Brown's call to action
on sustainable freight," said Energy Commissioner Janea A. Scott.
"We look forward to working with our partners to refine and
prioritize the strategies and actions identified in the Action
Plan and to carrying out actions that will help California to
meet its clean air standards and climate goals."


Next steps for state agencies will include continued work with
federal, state, industry, labor, regional, local and
environmental and community-based partners to refine and
prioritize the strategies and actions outlined in the Action
Plan. The state agencies will also create collaborative
stakeholder working groups on competitiveness, system efficiency,
workforce developments, and regulatory and permitting process
improvements.


Regular California Freight Advisory Committee meetings will
continue, and by July 2017, the state agencies will establish
work plans for chosen pilot projects.


Currently, California is the nation's largest gateway for
international trade and domestic commerce, with an interconnected
system of ports, railroads, highways and roads that allow freight
from around the world to move throughout the state and nation.
This system is responsible for one-third of the state's economic
product and jobs, with freight dependent industries accounting
for over $740 billion in gross domestic product and over five
million jobs in 2014.

arbcombo -- ARB Research Seminar: Source Speciation of Central Valley GHG Emissions Using In-Situ Measurement of VOCs

Allen Goldstein, Ph D
University of California, Berkeley and
Mark Fischer, Ph D
Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory.

Thursday, August 25, 2016 1:30 p.m., PDT (WEBCAST)
Sierra Hearing Room, 2nd Floor, Cal/EPA Building
1001 I Street, Sacramento, California

Reducing greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions requires knowledge of the
sources and activities which emit GHGs. California's Central
Valley has a number of agricultural and natural sources of GHGs
in addition to urban, anthropogenic sources. This work
investigates the seasonal variability of CH4 and N2O source
apportionment from year-long measurements of GHGs, CO, and a
suite of VOCs in Walnut Grove, about 23 miles south of downtown
Sacramento, from summer 2012 through early fall 2013. We apply
the statistical technique of positive matrix factorization (PMF)
on the combined GHG - VOC data set over seven separate periods
that are representative of broad seasonal patterns observed in
the region. We also compare our results to inverse modeling
estimates at WGC for the same time-period. For more go to the

arbcombo -- Wednesday ARB Research Seminar: Truck Activity Monitoring Systems in California

Presentation is available for downloading!.

Stephen Ritchie, Ph.D. and
Andre Tok, Ph.D.
Institute of Transportation Studies
University of California, Irvine

Wednesday, July 13, 2016 1:30 p.m., PDT (WEBCAST)
Sierra Hearing Room, 2nd Floor, Cal/EPA Building
1001 I Street, Sacramento, California

As an independent state, California's economy would rank as the
sixth largest in the world. It possesses key freight
transportation gateways to Mexico and the Asia Pacific, and is
home to the most productive agricultural region in the United
States. The San Pedro Bay Ports in Southern California is the
busiest port complex in the United States, while several
international and domestic air freight hubs are also located
within the state. Hence, understanding freight movement activity
is an essential component to ensure that the strategic plans and
policies for transportation infrastructure investment in the
State of California can adequately support the expected growth in
freight activity. Recent studies have revealed a significant void
in detailed truck activity data necessary to understand the
activity of trucks within the transportation infrastructure. For

arbcombo -- Release of California Cap-and-Trade Regulatory Amendments

California Air Resources Board (ARB or Board) staff has been
developing a proposal to amend the California Cap on Greenhouse
Gas Emissions and Market Based Compliance Mechanisms
(Cap-and-Trade Regulation or Program) to extend the Program
beyond 2020, broaden the Program through linkages with other
jurisdictions, comply with the federal Clean Power Plan, and
generally enhance ARB's ability to oversee and implement the
Regulation. These amendments will be first considered at a Board
hearing in September 2016 and voted on at a second Board hearing
in Spring 2017.

Staff's proposal will include amendments for the following main
topics:

-Establish new emissions caps beyond 2020 and continue all other
provisions needed to implement the Program after 2020;
-Establish new linkages;
-Revise the requirements for unsold allowances and vintages
available in the Current Auction;
-Prevent emissions leakage in the most cost-effective manner
through appropriate allowance allocation;
-Continue the allocation of allowances to the utilities on behalf
of rate-payers;
-Provide for California compliance with the federal Clean Power
Plan; and
-Simplify participation in the Program by streamlining
registration, auction participation, information management, and
issuance of offset credits.

To commence the formal rulemaking process pursuant to the
Administrative Procedure Act, ARB will provide a draft of the
formal regulatory package, including the Staff Report: Initial
Statement of Reasons (ISOR), and the Proposed Regulation Order,
to the Office of Administrative Law (OAL) on July 12, 2016. This
submittal initiates a review by OAL prior to opening the formal
comment period. Based on OAL's review, ARB may revise the draft
documents and will post final versions of all documents related
to the rulemaking (including the notice of proposed action, ISOR,
Proposed Regulation Order, and other Appendices) to ARB's
Cap-and-Trade Rulemaking webpage on July 26, 2016. ARB will also
make a rulemaking file for the proposed amendments available to
the public on this date. The formal public comment period will
begin when OAL publishes ARB's notice of proposed action on July
29, 2016.

This rulemaking proposal will include provisions that may impact
the market for the Program's compliance instruments. To ensure
that all market participants and other interested stakeholders
have access to the content of this regulatory proposal at the
same time, ARB will also post the draft Proposed Regulation Order
and draft ISOR (without Appendices) to the What's New box on the
Cap-and-Trade webpage at 5:00 pm on July 12, 2016. See here:
http://www.arb.ca.gov/cc/capandtrade/capandtrade.htm

Please note: The posting by ARB on July 12, 2016 is intended to
provide simultaneous access to staff's proposal as it is
submitted to OAL. This posting will not initiate the formal
public comment period. The official version that will be open
for public comment and Board consideration will be the final
version posted on July 26, 2016 following OAL review. The
official version may include modifications from the initial draft
posted by ARB on July 12, 2016. ARB will send out a listserv
when the formal rulemaking documents are posted on July 26, 2016
and before the public comment period begins on July 29, 2016.

Background

Cap-and-Trade Regulation

ARB first formally adopted the Cap-and-Trade Regulation in
October 2011. The Board has subsequently approved limited
amendments to the Regulation in June 2012, October 2013, April
2014, September 2014, and most recently June 2015. ARB staff has
developed proposals for 2016 amendments that seek to improve
Program efficiency and chart post-2020 implementation of the
Program.

ARB held a number of informal public workshops from October 2015
through June 2016 on some of the proposals that will be included
in this formal rulemaking. Workshop materials are available at:
http://www.arb.ca.gov/cc/capandtrade/meetings/meetings.htm

More information about ARB's Cap-and-Trade Program is available
at: http://www.arb.ca.gov/cc/capandtrade/capandtrade.htm.
