DRAFT Freight Hub Survey: Class III Rail Yards

The Draft Freight Hub Survey for Rail Yards is the most recent in a series of freight hub surveys that will be released by CARB this year. Staff are seeking comments on the Draft Rail Yard Survey; all comments must be submitted by September 4, 2017. Staff will then review comments, update the survey as appropriate, and send out the final survey for response in September. Staff has designed this survey to gather specific facility and equipment information from California based rail yards and is requesting feedback on the information included in the survey. The data gathered in this survey will help CARB staff better understand the activity that occurs at rail yards in California, assess the potential for emission reductions, and assist with the development of strategies for potentially reducing emissions. The information will also be used to determine the costs associated with any potential actions and direct future funding assistance efforts.

DRAFT - Class III Rail Yard Survey Instructions: Comments Requested

__________________________________________________________________________________________ Page 1 of 8 DRAFT – Submit comments by September 4, 2017 to Ugo Eke at [email protected].

Introduction On July 17, 2015, Governor Brown issued Executive Order B-32-15 which directs State agencies to improve freight efficiency, transition to zero-emission technologies, and increase the competitiveness of California’s freight system. To support this effort and other air quality, climate, and sustainability goals, California Air Resources Board (CARB) staff has identified the need to collect specific facility and equipment information from California based freight hubs. The Freight Hub Surveys for rail yards are next in a series of freight hub surveys that will be released by CARB this year. CARB staff designed this survey to gather specific facility and equipment information from California-based class III rail yards and is requesting your participation in completing the enclosed survey. The data gathered in this survey will help CARB staff better understand the activity that occurs at rail yards, assess the potential for emission reductions, and assist with the development of strategies for potentially reducing emissions. The information will also be used to determine the costs associated with any potential actions and direct future funding assistance efforts. If you have any questions regarding this survey, please contact Ugo Eke, Air Resources Engineer, at (916) 322-7298 or [email protected]. How to Complete the Survey
