The increasing attention to sustainability and climate change has led to increased attention on trucks as a source of air pollution. With California’s Air Resources Board (CARB) setting the pace, states are increasingly regulating not only entities that operate trucks but also those entities contracting for truck transportation, including brokers and shippers.

As these state regulations get incorporated into state implementation plans, they also become enforceable by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) under the federal Clean Air Act. That means increased opportunity for environmental audits and enforcement actions.

The Scopelitis Environmental team counsel clients on air pollution matters including:

• CARB’s Truck and Bus Regulation
• CARB’s Transport Refrigeration Unit Regulation
• CARB’s Tractor-Trailer Greenhouse Gas Regulation
• Zero-Emission Vehicle Transition
• EPA Audits and Investigations
• CARB Audits and Investigations

As regulators and transportation customer place increasing emphasis on sustainability, staying up-to-date and compliant with a fast-changing landscape becomes even more critical. Because environmental regulations are drafted by people who often do not understand the nuance of transportation, contact the Scopelitis Environmental team to assist in complying or responding to an audit to ensure your business is represented by people who do.
