DTCC Meets and Agrees to Continue Coalition Efforts
January 23, 2009
On January 9th Board Members of the DTCC met and agreed to continue to be proactive regarding the On-road Truck & Bus Rule. Below are the action items the Coalition is following up with:
- Jim Lyons (Sierra Research): It was recommended to members of the DTCC to have Jim Lyons finalize his analysis of the ARB Emissions Inventory. Members of the DTCC agreed with the recommendation. It was also mentioned that no additional funding for this project is necessary at this time.
- CARB 15-day Comment Period: Each organization of the DTCC (that was in attendance at the meeting) will be submitting their own comments. Comments will also be submitted by the DTCC. Final regulatory language that will reflect the changes to the rule will be sent out in February.
- Legislation: Matt (CTA) will provide Jason (Chamber) additional information for the proposed legislation that was referenced in the meeting. (For additional information contact Jason of the Chamber).
- DTCC Web-Site: CDTOA will provide IT personnel to maintain the DTCC web-site. A Q&A Section on the web-site will be available for members of the DTCC to utilize. Sean Edgar and Matt Schrap will provide technical support (answers) for questions regarding the regulation. (Note: the site has been transferred to CDTOA’s server along with all contact files, we are testing and updating the site.)
- Legislative Action Team: Julie Sauls, Jason Schmelzer, Jay McKeenan and Kirk Blackburn will coordinate efforts of the DTCC Legislative Action Team. For additional information contact Julie.
- Funding Alternatives. Eric Sauer (CTA) will provide DTCC members verbiage from the CTA “Buck a Truck” Fund that was created as a way for CTA members to donate voluntary funds for efforts involving efforts of the DTCC.
- Next meeting: Meeting date and time has not been scheduled as of 1/22/09.
