Now is the time for bold action! Local air quality regulators must adopt a strong ISR for Ports to cut emissions now and fast-track clean technologies. Urge SCAQMD to adopt a strong rule for cleaner air and health.
Urge SCAQMD to adopt a strong rule for cleaner air and health
From ships arriving or departing our ports, to the trucks and trains navigating through our communities daily, the burning of fossil fuels is present at every step of freight movement. This toxic burden falls hardest on Black, Brown, Indigenous and working-class frontline communities.
It’s time for the South Coast Air Quality Management District (SCAQMD) — the regional agency responsible for regulating air quality in California’s South Coast region — to take decisive action. We need SCAQMD to adopt a strong Indirect Source Rule (ISR) for Marine Ports to slash emissions, accelerate zero-emission infrastructure and address long-standing environmental injustice. Add your voice to the call for clean air and help build a healthier future for all.
We’re demanding an effective ISR that:
- Sets bold emissions reduction targets with accountability for missed goals.
- Invests in zero-emission infrastructure free from fossil fuels.
- Delivers accurate public emissions monitoring for transparency.
