What is the Training About?

March 1, 2010 is the first compliance date for the Air Resources Board's (ARB's) In-Use Off-Road Diesel Vehicle Regulation for large fleets, i.e., fleets with over 5,000 total horsepower and federal and state agencies. To assist large fleets with their compliance efforts, ARB staff will conduct a training seminar geared towards helping owners of large fleets understand the March 1, 2010, compliance requirements. The seminar will provide information on:

•  New Reduced Horsepower and Reduced Activity Credits - These new credits were implemented specifically to help fleets during the current recession. The seminar will cover how to claim the credits, what records need to be submitted, and which indicators for activity may be used.

• DOORS 2010 Compliance Summary - The seminar will cover how to view your fleet's compliance status in DOORS.

• Fleet Average Calculator - The seminar will provide examples of how to use the Excel-based calculator (revised in September 2009) to plan for compliance.
•  

• Retrofit Visibility - The seminar will also provide an overview of how to use the ARB/OSHA visibility assessment methodology to evaluate a vehicle prior to installing a retrofit to be sure it does not create a visibility impairment, and how to apply for a temporary retrofit exemption if this is not possible for a specific vehicle.

The energy challenge facing California is real. Every Californian needs to take immediate action to reduce energy consumption.

For a list of simple ways you can reduce demand and cut your energy costs, see our website: http://www.arb.ca.gov.
