CLEAN TRUCKS * USA - CARB to get $91M for
CAL,USA -eTrucker -26 May 2009: -- The California Air Resources Board said May 26 it will receive $161 million from a bond sale in the next installment of the 2006 voter-approved Proposition 1B funds for cleaning up emissions from school buses, trucks and port equipment... The Goods Movement Emission Reduction Program will receive $90 million, and the Lowe+r-Emission School Bus Program will receive about $71 million. CARB administers both programs, part of a larger $19.93 billion 2006 Highway Safety, Traffic Reduction, Air Quality and Port Security Bond Act. Last December, CARB suspended implementation of these programs because of the state’s inability to raise bond funds... CARB says the bond money will be used to:# Clean up port trucks in the South Coast, Bay Area and San Diego;
# Upgrade trucks in the Central Valley and Border Region;
# Install shore-based electrical power for two ship berths at the Port of Oakland.
