Advocacy Public Documents

The California Special Districts Association, alongside other organizations, submitted comments to the California Air Resources Board regarding proposed amendments to the Advanced Clean Fleets regulation. They support CARB's initiatives but raise concerns about the difficulties local agencies face in transitioning to zero-emission vehicles due to marketplace disruptions and infrastructure challenges. The letter advocates for exemptions for emergency response vehicles and the removal of restrictions on waivers or extensions for ZEV purchases, emphasizing the need to maintain public safety and operational readiness amid increasing natural disasters.
