AGC Members Call on California to Repeal Off-road Rule

AGC members in California sent hundreds of letters to the California Air Resources Board, urging it to repeal its costly and unnecessary off-road rule, which could be adopted by 32 other states. AGC showed the board that emissions from off-road construction equipment are far lower than originally thought, and the news is spreading quickly. The North Bay Business Journal further explored the data while nearly 2,000 letters were sent in opposition to the rule to members of the California Air Resources Board last week. Engineering News-Record also covered the issue. AGC released a study last year showing that as many as 32 other states could adopt California's rule.
