The Truck and Bus regulation has been in effect since December 2008 and we are now in the last replacement phase of the regulation with a final deadline of January 1, 2023, to upgrade to 2010 or newer model year engines. Due to the current situation, processing of compliance documentation mailed in by hard copy, and wait times on the Diesel Hotline, may take longer than usual. For faster processing of your compliance documentation, email a scanned copy or photo of your documents to trucrs@arb.ca.gov. Include your TRUCRS ID number, a detailed description of the request, and any applicable VIN(s). Faxing of documentation is not currently available. Thank you for your patience as we work diligently to keep things running smoothly during these challenging times.
