The 5th Wheel
Government Affairs Update
 
The South Coast Air Quality Management District will consider adoption of an onerous new regulation targeting Southern California warehouses and fleets at their April 2nd Board Meeting. This rule could cost the average facility nearly a dollar per square foot, every single year, with NO sunset date. It would require extensive and onerous tracking and reporting of truck trips and impose costly, duplicative requirements on top of the California Air Resources Board's already stringent rules. 
 
Please take five minutes out of your day to let the South Coast AQMD's Governing Board hear your voice! Stop killing supply chain jobs...no more onerous regulations
The Port of Long Beach (POLB) has made some updates to the check boxes on the upper right hand corner of Appendix A. The updates are as follows:
 
Truck is registered with POLB Clean Truck Program Drayage Truck website: https://pdtr.cleanairactionplan.org 
 
Railroad Work Plan to be submitted 7 calendar days prior to move date. Tuesday and Thursday are approved days.
 
POLB also asks all to make note that, effective Monday March 8th, all heavy haul trucks accessing Port of Long Beach marine terminals must be registered with the Clean Trucks Program Drayage Truck Registry (PDTR). Terminal gates will be enforcing this requirement.
