Indirect Source Rules: An Emerging Route Toward Clean Freight

Indirect Source Rules: An Emerging Route Toward Clean Freight
SHARE

The rise of e-commerce in recent decades has revolutionized the way we shop and consume goods. Gone are the days of waiting weeks for a product to arrive, as we now expect quick delivery within 48 hours. However, this shift in consumer behavior has led to the proliferation of mega-warehouses, which serve as crucial hubs in the freight and commerce system but also attract pollution from heavy-duty trucks and freight equipment.

The impact of this freight system on public health and the environment cannot be ignored. Heavy-duty vehicles emit harmful pollutants that result in premature deaths and significant health costs each year. To address these issues, Indirect Source Rules (ISRs) have emerged as a promising solution to reduce pollution around freight hubs and mitigate negative health impacts on communities and the planet.

The construction of sprawling warehouses near existing logistics infrastructure has increased significantly in recent years. These warehouses, with larger footprints and more loading docks, attract high concentrations of heavy-duty trucks, which are major contributors to air pollution and climate change. ISRs offer opportunities to transform these warehouses into agents for positive change by encouraging the adoption of electric trucks, solar energy generation, and battery storage.

Electrifying trucks is a key strategy to reduce pollution from the freight system. Zero-emission trucks produce significantly less pollution than combustion trucks, and their deployment has been increasing steadily. ISRs implemented in California have shown promising results in reducing emissions from freight operations, with an increase in zero-emission truck trips, electric cargo handling equipment usage, and solar power generation at warehouses.

Legislation is being considered in states like California and New York to expand the adoption of ISRs. These bills aim to reduce pollution from freight operations by incentivizing freight electrification, expanding access to electric truck charging, and enhancing pollution reductions at warehouses near sensitive receptors. ISRs give states a powerful tool to lead towards a cleaner and more efficient freight system, especially in the absence of federal leadership on this issue.

Despite challenges at the federal level, ISRs present a strategic opportunity for states to drive progress towards a cleaner and more sustainable freight system. By implementing policies like ISRs, states can continue the momentum towards a zero-emission future for freight transportation.
