arbcombo -- Volkswagen Consent Decree ZEV Investment Commitment workshop notice now available

The Air Resources Board (ARB) invites you to participate in a
public workshop on Friday, December 2, 2016, to provide
suggestions for Volkswagen's (VW) $800 million 10-year zero
emission vehicle (ZEV) Investment Commitment in California. The
ZEV Investment Commitment is a component of California's partial
settlement with VW resulting from VW's use of illegal defeat
devices in 2.0 liter (2.0L) diesel cars that were sold into the
State from model years 2009 to 2015.

During the workshop, staff will discuss: (1) four areas of
qualified investments: ZEV infrastructure, public awareness,
increasing ZEV access, and green city projects; (2) ARB's draft
guiding principles and recommended priorities for the first ZEV
Investment Plan; and (3) the process and timeline associated with
development, review, and approval of the first investment plan.
After that discussion, members of the public will be invited to
provide comments related to the ZEV Investment. These comments
will inform ARB's development of a guidance document
communicating California's priorities and guiding principles for
ZEV investments to VW to aid them in drafting their ZEV
Investment Plan.

The workshop will be held at the following date, time, and
location:

Date: Friday, December 2, 2016
Time: 9:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m.

Location:

Cal/EPA Headquarters
Coastal Hearing Room, 2nd Floor
1001 I Street
Sacramento, California 95814
