California’s air quality regulations protect public health & are backed by a world-class emissions testing laboratory that ensures CARB's enforcement efforts are rigorously supported with data & science, which CARB was happy to contribute to this landmark case.
The collaboration between California & its federal partners makes it clear that companies will be held accountable for violating essential environmental laws that are in place to provide the clean air that communities across California and the nation want & deserve.
Maryland is the 10th state to exercise the right under the Clean Air Act to adopt the Advanced Clean Trucks rule, which will bring cleaner trucks & air to their residents & help spur investments in #ZEV technology & infrastructure. Congrats @MDEnvironment & @iamwesmoore!
I joined #CARBenforcement in South Sacramento this week to see @AirResources' new Clean Truck Check program in action. This program is protecting the most vulnerable communities in California by educating truck drivers & ensuring their rigs meet California emissions standards.
Today, @CDPHE's Air Quality Control Commission adopted @AirResources' Advanced Clean Truck & Omnibus Regulations. We congratulate Colorado on reducing emissions from diesel trucks & bringing #CleanAir to communities throughout the Centennial State.

CARB’s focus on equity means making sure no one is left behind the #ZEV future. Through grants, we helped a Richmond-based community development organization get 250 residents into cleaner cars & last week @VRahwanji + team celebrated #EarthWeek with @CAgovernor!
As @USPS transitions to #ZeroEmission delivery vehicles, they also have an opportunity to use renewables as they’re generated, increasing charging access for communities & supporting additional light-duty electrification.
CA just hit 1.5 million ZEVs sold TWO YEARS ahead of schedule! 🔋🚗
We have the largest ZEV market in the U.S. & 1 in 5 new cars sold here are EVs. The future happens here first!
Get up to $24,500 in money back when you purchase a ZEV in CA. Learn more: https://t.co/eFXcpWNE3Z
Today CARB welcomed the Accelerating #CleanEnergy Infrastructure Summit at our Riverside HQ. It brought together thought leaders working on deploying innovative technologies, financing #CleanInfrastructure, creating promising career pathways & supporting community resilience.
Chair Randolph & I were thrilled to join @EPAMichaelRegan as they propose stronger #GHG rules for cars & trucks in the U.S. @AirResources is committed to partnering with @EPA to build a #ZeroEmission future & healthier climate for all.
It was great to see #electric utility trucks like @ConEdison’s are ready for the electric utility sector at last week’s @NYAutoShow. We’re looking forward to companies like @SDGE & @LADWP rolling these out on California roads.
