Air Pollutants of Concern Criteria pollutant precursors Oxides
of nitrogen, volatile organic compounds, particulate matter Diesel
PM Listed as a TAC and a component of PM2.5 Air Toxic Contaminants
(TACs) Examples: Benzene, 1,3-butadiene, and others gaseous
pollutants Greenhouse gases 4
Slide 5
Meeting the Challenge California faces greatest air quality
challenges in the nation SIPs must address increasingly stringent
standards with frequent legal challenges Greenhouse gas targets A
combination of regulations, incentives, sustainable land use and
transportation systems, and infrastructure investments is needed
Effective implementation (e.g., stakeholder outreach, monitoring,
enforcement) 5

Ozone and PM2.5 SIP Planning Requirements Multiple SIPs
required in 2016 to meet new standards: 8-hour O3 standard of 75
ppb Annual PM2.5 standard of 12 ug/m3 Extreme ozone areas have an
attainment deadline of 2032 Serious PM2.5 areas have an attainment
deadline of 2025 More stringent ozone standard under consideration

Slide 14
Approach to SIP Planning Integrate ARB planning efforts for
SIPs, AB 32, and freight planning Collaborative effort involving
ARB, air districts, U.S. EPA, and metropolitan planning agencies
Requires long-term, comprehensive reductions through advanced
technologies, fuels, and energy efficiency Combination of
regulations, incentives, sustainable land use and transportation
systems, and infrastructure investments will be needed 14
Slide 15
Required by AB 32 Outlines States strategy to achieve 2020 GHG
goal Built on a balanced mix of strategies 15 Initial Scoping
Plan
Slide 16
Success of Scoping Plan Comprehensive suite of strategies
applied to all sectors Renewable energy currently accounts for 22
percent of states electricity Global leader in energy efficiency
Most comprehensive Cap-and-Trade program in world 16

Slide 18
AB 32 Scoping Plan Update Key Questions How have we done over
past 5 years? What is needed to continue to 2020? What steps are
needed to continue emission reductions and grow our economy beyond
2020? 18
Slide 19
Climate Change Climate Change Scoping Plan Update Scoping Plan
Update Approved in May 2014 Builds upon successful framework
established by initial Scoping Plan Shows progress to steadily
drive down GHG emissions to 2020 limit Describes actions California
must undertake to move beyond 2020 Identifies need for establishing
a statewide mid-term GHG emissions target 19
Slide 20
Short Lived Climate Pollutants (SLCP) Atmospheric lifetime of a
few days to a few decades High global warming potential Include
black carbon, methane, and HFCs SLCP already regulated by ARB
Further control strategies being developed ARB committed to develop
comprehensive SLCP strategy by 2016 20
Slide 21
Conclusions Climate change represents a serious threat to the
health of Californians, our natural resources, and economy
California is driving down GHG emissions to meet the 2020 goal Now
is the time to begin developing long-term strategies All
Californians will play a key role in meeting the long-term climate
goals 21
Slide 22
22 Sustainable Freight Strategy Systems approach: all
modes/facilities Zero/near zero emission equipment Renewable
fuel/energy sources Clean air and healthy communities More
efficient, with reliable velocity and enhanced capacity Improved
competitiveness of Californias logistics system to support
jobs
Slide 23
23 Truck & Bus Regulation Affects one million trucks and
buses that operate in California PM filters and replacements for
heavier trucks Replacements for lighter vehicles Adopted in 2008
Amended in 2010 due to recession Amended in 2014 to provide
additional flexibility
Slide 24
Truck and Bus Regulation Implementation (Summary of 2014
Amendments) Protects emission reductions by providing lower cost
compliance options to small fleets, lower mileage fleets, and
fleets in areas with cleaner air. Provides new opportunities for
fleet owners to access public incentive funds. Recognizes fleet
owners that made early investments to comply.
Slide 25
Enhanced Fleet Modernization Program Voluntary scrap program
for cars $1 per vehicle registration fee through 2023 Two elements
Retirement only ~ $27M Retire and replace ~ $3M Target low-income
participation Multiple options for replacement participants Cleaner
