Description (excerpt):

This document presents several options for policies aimed at reducing harmful emissions from medium- and heavy-duty (MHD) vehicles in Utah, primarily focused on increasing vehicle electrification. Addressing pollution from MHD vehicles will be crucial to improving air quality in the state, especially as the state moves forward with the construction of the Inland Port. The key policy actions laid out in this document focus on leveraging federal funding to create incentives for MHD electric vehicles (EVs), introducing policy options to ensure more MHD EVs are available for sale in Utah, and examining ways the Inland Port can reduce its emissions.
