Who We Are
Driving Toward a Cleaner California is a coalition of truck owners, farmers, construction contractors and other business and community leaders committed to working with the California Air Resources Board to craft a sensible truck and bus replacement rule that both cleans the air and keeps California’s economy moving forward.
The regulations impact the more than 1.5 million trucks and buses used to transport goods and people on California’s roads, highways and farms. Given the millions of consumer and industrial goods and products delivered via truck each day in the State, these regulations could have a profound, negative impact on state’s economy.
