1 Oregon HD Greenhouse Gas Measure Improving Truck Efficiency 1

2 Governor s Task Force on Global Warming Made numerous recommendations for state originated strategies to reduce GHGs Transportation Category II Other Immediate Actions TRAN-11 TRAN-13 Set and meet goals for reduced truck idling at truck and safety stops Set and meet goals for freight (truck/rail) transportation efficiency; achieve this through equipment, coordination and land use 2

3 Charge from HB Study potential requirements regarding maintenance or retrofitting of medium and heavy duty trucks to reduce aerodynamic drag Evaluate: Comparable requirements of other states and EPA Availability of financing programs Differences among truck types, e.g. short and long haul Implementation on phased schedule accounting for fleet size Feasibility of requiring sellers of MHD trucks to disclose applicable GHG requirements Feasibility of providing financial hardship exemptions
