Coalition Support letter for AB 914 (the California Pollution Hotspots Solution Act)

The undersigned organizations write in support of AB 914 (Garcia, R), which will equip the state of California with critical regulatory tools to clean up air pollution. This legislation affirms the California Air Resources Board’s authority to regulate “indirect sources” that attract activity from polluting vehicles and equipment. Californians breathe some of the dirtiest air in the country and ports, warehouses, and other freight hubs — with the polluting diesel trucks and equipment that serve them — are major culprits. This bill provides a crucial pathway to slash this dangerous pollution.
