In accordance with SB 1383, the SLCP Reduction Strategy has set the following targets for statewide reductions in SLCP emissions: • 40 percent below 2013 levels by 2030 for methane and hydrofluorocarbons; and • 50 percent below 2013 levels by 2030 for anthropogenic black carbon. The SLCP Reduction Strategy also provides specific direction for reductions from dairy and livestock operations and from landfills by diverting organic materials. California On-Road Vehicle Emission Regulations The State of California has established statewide emission and fuel economy regulations for vehicles that align with or supersede the national standards. The key state regulations related to vehicles emissions are as follows: • The Pavley Regulations (AB 1493), as amended in 2009, required a 30 percent reduction in state GHG emissions from new passenger vehicles from 2009 through 2016. • The Advanced Clean Cars Program extends the Pavley Regulations beyond 2016 and established a technology mandate for zero-emission vehicles (ZEVs). • The Advanced Clean Cars II Program requires all new passenger cars, trucks, and sport utility vehicles sold in California to be ZEVs by 2035. • Executive Order N-79-20 established a goal that 100 percent of in-state sales of new passenger cars and light-duty trucks will be zero-emission by 2035, which is supported by the Advanced Clean Cars II Regulations. • The Advanced Clean Trucks regulation requires between 40 and 75 percent of new medium- and heavy-duty vehicles sold in California to be ZEVs or near-zero- emissions vehicles by 2035. • The Low-Carbon Fuel Standard (Executive Order S-1-07), as amended in 2019, requires a 20 percent reduction in the carbon intensity of California's transportation fuels by 2030. • SB 375 establishes regional GHG emissions reduction targets from passenger vehicles for 2020 and 2035 by requiring metropolitan planning organizations to develop and implement Sustainable Communities Strategies that align regional transportation planning efforts with regional housing allocation needs. • The Truck and Bus Regulation, as amended in 2014, requires heavy-duty diesel vehicles that operate in California to reduce toxic air containment (TAC ) emissions from their exhaust. As of January 1, 2023, nearly all trucks and buses are required to have 2010 or newer model year engines, to reduce particulate matter and oxides of nitrogen emissions. • The Tractor-Trailer GHG Regulation (13 CCR 1956), adopted by CARB in 2008, requires tractors and trailers to use aerodynamic technologies and low rolling resistance tires, to reduce fuel use and emissions. California’s Climate Change Scoping Plan In December 2008, CARB adopted the Climate Change Scoping Plan to identify how the state can achieve its 2020 climate action goal under AB 32. In 2017, CARB updated the Scoping Plan to identify how the state can achieve its 2030 climate action goal under SB 32 and substantially advance toward its 2050 climate action goal under Executive Order S-3-05. The 2017 Scoping Plan includes the regulatory programs identified above, such as the Advanced Clean Cars
