    2. Today’s Presentation Fleet Rule for Transit Agencies Requirement Review Urban Bus Transit Fleet Vehicles 2009 & 2010 Compliance Deadlines Revised Web Based Reporting Other Regulations

    3. “Urban Bus” Passenger carrying vehicle Owned or operated by a transit agency (includes contract fleet) Powered by a heavy HD diesel engine or of a type normally powered by a heavy HD diesel engine “Normally powered” defined as: - Thirty-five feet or longer - > 33,000 (lbs) GVWR Once an Urban Bus, always an Urban Bus

    4. 2007 Urban Bus Engine Standard Align with 2007 HHD standard - Section 1956.8 Certification to “Urban Bus” service class still required As the result of 2 hearing, the Board adopted to align the urban bus engine standard with the CA HDD truck engine std and added a retrofit requirement for Diesel Path Fleets with more than 30 urban buses. These changes will be published for 15 days sometime before the end of the year prior to finalization.As the result of 2 hearing, the Board adopted to align the urban bus engine standard with the CA HDD truck engine std and added a retrofit requirement for Diesel Path Fleets with more than 30 urban buses. These changes will be published for 15 days sometime before the end of the year prior to finalization.

    5. Urban Bus Hybrid Certification Procedures Medium Heavy-duty engine can not be used in Urban Bus service unless certified to the Urban Bus Service Class One-Party Certification Other Hybrid-engines No modification of engine, including computer settings, otherwise muse be a part of the engine certification

    6. Diesel Path 2007+ MY Purchasing Requirement Diesel Path Agencies With >30 Urban Buses One-to-one Retrofit Requirement for Each 2007 to 2009 MY Engine Purchased Certified Above 0.2 g NOx - 40%+ NOx reduction if available; otherwise 25% Limited to available vehicles within transit agency, includes TFV As the result of 2 hearing, the Board adopted to align the urban bus engine standard with the CA HDD truck engine std and added a retrofit requirement for Diesel Path Fleets with more than 30 urban buses. These changes will be published for 15 days sometime before the end of the year prior to finalization.As the result of 2 hearing, the Board adopted to align the urban bus engine standard with the CA HDD truck engine std and added a retrofit requirement for Diesel Path Fleets with more than 30 urban buses.

    7. Alternative Fuel Path At Least 85% Annual UB purchases Includes contracted, leased, used, and newly purchased Alternative fuels include Compressed Natural Gas (CNG) Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) Propane (LPG) Gasoline Hybrids (gHEBs) And other fuels that do not rely on diesel fuel

    8. Urban Bus Compliance Deadlines This slide summarizes the PM and NOx requirements and deadline dates.This slide summarizes the PM and NOx requirements and deadline dates.

    9. Greater than 8,500 (lbs) GVWR Powered by heavy-duty engine fueled by diesel or alternative fuel Owned or operated by a transit agency (includes contract fleet) Not an urban bus “Transit Fleet Vehicle” We are expanding the current regulation’s applicability to include smaller vehicles and those not meeting the definition of urban bus. “Transit Fleet Vehicle” is: A vehicle that would typically use a heavy-duty diesel engine, could be run on alternative fuel, and subject to this regulation. Vehicles powered by Gasoline are not intended to be regulated.

    10. Defined as Transit Fleet Vehicle if: Powered by a heavy duty diesel engine or of a type normally powered by a heavy duty diesel engine or alternative fuel Operates on a fixed route primarily during peak commute hours No passenger-initiated stops No more than 10 stops per day, excluding Park-and-Ride lots “Commuter Service Bus” To add clarity, we define a commuter service bus that is a transit fleet vehicle. A commuter service bus is defined as “read slide”To add clarity, we define a commuter service bus that is a transit fleet vehicle. A commuter service bus is defined as “read slide”

    12. 2007- 2009 Model Year Engines Title 13, section 1956.8 of the California Code of Regulations 2007+ model year engines with certified above 0.01g PM standard Additional PM and NOx control needed?

    13. 2007/2008 Model Year Engines

    14. Annual Reporting

    15. Annual Reporting Annual Report Due January 31 through 2017 Separate report for Urban Buses and TFV: Number, engine mfr & make, engine model year for all engines in buses, and fuel used as of January 1st of that year

    16. Reporting Requirements (continued) Urban Bus: Alternative NOx Strategy Transit Agencies Provide update of compliance plan Alternative Fuel Path: Percentage of Alt. Fuel Buses Purchased or Leased ZEB Reporting Diesel Path: Document each filter installed for each 2007-2009 model year diesel UB purchased AC Transit, Eastern CC, El Dorado, Golden Gate, Merced, Visalia, and VTAAC Transit, Eastern CC, El Dorado, Golden Gate, Merced, Visalia, and VTA

    19. Other Regulations You Need to be Aware of

    21. Fleet Rule for Public Agencies and Utilities Own, operate, or lease Model year 1960 through 2006 Greater than 14,000 GVWR Heavy-duty on-road diesel-fueled engines Apply Best Available Control Technology (BACT) Proposed Changes: Addition of Light Heavy-Duty Engines Include all heavy-duty engines in vehicles >14,000 lbs gvwr in record keeping, labeling and total fleet size calculation starting 1/1/2009 Meet 2009 and future BACT compliance deadlines 2009 compliance extension application - Light heavy-duty engines only - August 1, 2009 application deadline Addition of all 2007+ model year engines certified above 0.01g PM standard Add Group 4 Implementation Schedule Apply BACT by 2012 Low Population follow Group 3 plus 1 year Meet all labeling and record keeping requirements as of 1/1/2009 Retirement: Out-of-State Sales To qualify as a retired vehicle: Submit VIN stop request to ARB prior to sale of vehicle Registration Hold (VIN Stop) in place prior to sale Third Party Vehicle Seller Contract Proposed Changes: Addition of Light Heavy-Duty Engines Include all heavy-duty engines in vehicles >14,000 lbs gvwr in record keeping, labeling and total fleet size calculation starting 1/1/2009 Meet 2009 and future BACT compliance deadlines 2009 compliance extension application - Light heavy-duty engines only - August 1, 2009 application deadline Addition of all 2007+ model year engines certified above 0.01g PM standard Add Group 4 Implementation Schedule Apply BACT by 2012 Low Population follow Group 3 plus 1 year Meet all labeling and record keeping requirements as of 1/1/2009 Retirement: Out-of-State Sales To qualify as a retired vehicle: Submit VIN stop request to ARB prior to sale of vehicle Registration Hold (VIN Stop) in place prior to sale Third Party Vehicle Seller Contract

    25. Advanced Demonstration Requirement Diesel Path transit agencies only >200 buses 5 agencies affected (All in Bay Area) Multi Transit Agency Option 12 per demonstration minimum 3 per transit agency minimum Demonstration to start in 2009

    26. Advanced Demonstration Participants

    27. ZBus Purchase Requirements 15 Percent of new bus acquisitions Agencies with > 200 buses Diesel Path 2011-2026 Alternative-Fuel Path 2012-2026

    28. Affected Transit Agencies (Purchase Requirement) Consider dropping fleet size numbersConsider dropping fleet size numbers

    29. Transitioning Agencies (Purchase Requirement) Consider dropping fleet size numbersConsider dropping fleet size numbers

    30. Reporting Requirements Transit agencies > 200 urban buses Plan for Implementing ZBus technology Description of zero emission technology Request for deviations from 15 % ZBus requirement must be submitted 90 days prior to bus purchase Reason for deviation Future planned ZBus acquisitions
