Virtual Public Listening Session to Discuss Draft Advanced Clean Cars II/Advanced Clean Trucks

DEM will hold a virtual public listening session to announce and review the draft release of the "Rhode Island's Low-Emission and Zero-Emission Vehicle Programs" regulation. The draft regulation includes key rules to significantly reduce climate pollution from transportation in the state: Advanced Clean Cars (ACCII) and the Advanced Clean Truck (ACT) rules.

A virtual public listening session will be held on May 18th on the draft rule. The purpose of the listening session is to present an overview of the draft rule and provide an opportunity for stakeholder feedback. DEM expects to initiate the formal rule-making process later this year.

Pre-registration for the workshop is required. Please visit: https://bit.ly/3KSWmpy

Zoom Meeting information will be shared with those who have pre-registered. All participants will be muted upon joining the meeting. Following a presentation on the draft rule, DEM will open the line for feedback with instructions provided to participants.
