$2,000 in Fines Paid by COV-VCC

In January 2009, the City of Visalia – Visalia City Coach (COV-VCC) agreed to pay $2,000.00 in penalties; $1,500.00 to the California Air Pollution Fund, $250.00 to the Peralta Community College District, and $250.00 to the California Pollution Control Financing Authority for violating air quality regulations.  An investigation by the ARB showed that COV-VCC failed to meet the Fleet Rule for Transit Agencies-Transit Fleet Vehicle Requirements (TFV), 13 CCR Section 2023.2 (b) (1) for PM reductions.  ARB documented violations as they related to the TFV.  To settle the case, COV-VCC agreed to the $2,000.00 penalty and to comply with the TFV, and other ARB programs.
