STOP the SCAQMD Overreach!

Our port workers, warehouse managers, truckers, distributors, and retailers are still reeling from the avalanche of supply chain disruptions that contributed to record backlogs late last year. Now is not the time to impose a new rule capping port activity and stalling supply chain recovery. The Ports of Long Beach and Los Angeles make our sea ports the largest in the Western Hemisphere. Together, they handle about 40% of all inbound containers for the entire nation.

Regulations that slow our ports will have a ripple effect on economic recovery and international trade.

WHAT'S THE ISSUE?
This Friday, the South Coast Air Quality Management District (SCAQMD) will discuss whether to move forward with a burdensome regulation that would negatively impact the Ports of Long Beach and Los Angeles. We're informing our members and activating our grassroots army even though our intel doesn't indicate board members will vote on the rule this week. We're speaking up now to get ahead of a possible vote. Direction may be given by the board to SCAQMD staff at Friday's meeting.

Known as an Indirect Source Rule (ISR), the SCAQMD is considering a rule that would dictate how the ports and their terminal operators work with the trucks moving in and out of their facilities in an attempt to reduce emissions. The SCAQMD passed a similar rule on warehouses last year, which is estimated to cost 100,000 jobs over the next 10 years. 

HOW CAN YOU HELP? 
We must tell the SCAQMD to stay out of the Ports way! Further disruptions to the supply chain are at risk with an Indirect Source Rule!
