The California Air Resources Board (CARB) invites you to participate in a first public workshop to discuss regulatory concepts for using operational practices to reduce on ground and near-ground emissions from commercial aircraft in California. Some of the concepts that will be discussed include strategies to reduce emissions from Auxiliary Power Units (APU), transitioning to zero-emission Ground Support Equipment (GSE), and operational strategies to reduce emissions from aircraft taxiing, takeoffs, and landings. This will be the first of a series of workshops, which are open to the public and we encourage your participation.
During the workshop, staff intends to present information on the emissions inventory and
potential reductions, outline current and planned data collection efforts, solicit stakeholder
input, and discuss preliminary regulatory concepts. Staff also intends to solicit early feedback
on alternative regulatory concepts that will be prepared for this regulatory action.
