Trucking Regulations and Warehouses

Where: California

The proposal: Warehouse Actions and Investments to Reduce Emissions hold warehouses accountable for the use of zero- or net-zero-emissions trucks at their facilities

Who would it apply to?

  • operators of warehouses
  • warehouse size at least 100,000 square feet of indoor space, contained in a single building

Examples of how warehouses would earn points?

  • Own a truck fleet= 126 WAIRE points by acquiring at least one zero-emissions (or net-zero-emissions) Class 8 truck
  • 51 points = annual number of truck trips taken to and from its facility by those trucks, even if the truck belongs to another party
  • Point awards will vary for different truck classes, and the warehouse would be responsible for tracking all truck trips.
