California Air Resources Board

Skyline Transportation, Inc. Case Settles for $38,400

Skyline Transportation, Inc. will pay $38,400.00 in penalties for violating air quality regulations: $28,800.00 will go to the Air Pollution Control Fund, which provides funding for projects and research to improve California's air quality; $9,600.00 will go to the Peralta Colleges Foundation to fund emission education classes conducted by participating California community colleges, under the California Council for Diesel Education and Technology (CCDET) program.  This settlement was reached in February, 2016.

An investigation by the Air Resources Board (ARB) showed that SKYLINE TRANSPORTATION INC failed to bring their diesel trucks into compliance with the applicable in-use performance standards and failed to properly self-inspect their diesel trucks to assure the trucks met state smoke emission standards.  ARB documented violations as they related to the Periodic Smoke Inspection Program (PSIP), the Transport Refrigeration Unit (TRU) Airborne Toxic Control Measure, and the Statewide Truck and Bus (STB) Regulation.  To settle the case, SKYLINE TRANSPORTATION INC agreed to the $38,400.00 penalty and to comply with PSIP, TRU, STB, and other ARB programs.
