arbcombo -- Draft Freight Hub Survey for Truck Stops Released for Public Comment

The Air Resources Board (ARB) staff has released the Draft
Freight Hub Survey for Truck Stops for public comment.

The Draft Freight Hub Survey for Truck Stops is the first in a
series of six freight hub surveys that will be released by ARB
this year. Each of the surveys will undergo a public comment
period before being finalized. The types of freight hubs being
surveyed during this effort include: truck stops, border
crossings, rail yards, airports, seaports, and warehouses and
distribution centers. The purpose of these surveys is to collect
specific facility and equipment information from California based
freight hubs. The data gathered from these surveys will help ARB
staff better understand the activity that occurs at freight hubs
in California, assess the potential for emission reductions,
inform potential strategies for reducing those emissions, and
direct funding assistance efforts.


Please see the Program website at
https://www.arb.ca.gov/gmp/sfti/sfdatacollect.htm to get more
information, submit comments, and view the surveys as they become
available.


Background: On July 17, 2015, Governor Brown issued Executive
Order B-32-15 which directs State agencies to improve freight
efficiency, transition to zero-emission technologies, and
increase the competitiveness of California's freight system. To
support this effort and other air quality, climate, and
sustainability goals, Air Resources Board (ARB) staff has
identified the need to collect specific facility and equipment
information from California based freight hubs.

If you have any questions regarding the draft freight hub
surveys, please contact Ugo Eke, Air Resources Engineer, at (916)
322-7298 or via email at ugonna.eke@arb.ca.gov.
