WASHINGTON — The momentum keeps growing behind the Motor Vehicle Owners’ Right to Repair Act HR 2735. This week, Rep. Shelley Berkley (D-Nev.), added her name to the growing list of bill supporters, bringing the cosponsor total to 87.

“It is clear that the large number letters from the aftermarket including many AAIA members is having a profound impact,” said Kathleen Schmatz, president, AAIA. Schmatz also thanked the large number of members that have sent thank you notes to Senator Lindsey Graham for his recent introduction of a Senate Right to Repair bill (S 2138) and urged those who have not done so to send a letter of appreciation for the Senator’s efforts on behalf of the industry and car owners as soon as possible.

ATA Asks Congress for Realistic Emissions Timeline

ATA warns Americans will feel the trucking and supply chain impacts if the U.S. uses California’s timelines and targets.

Yesterday, American Trucking Associations President and CEO Chris Spear told Congress that the industry needed realistic national timelines and targets to reduce emissions, rather than allowing California and other states to drive standards.

"The trucking industry starts with 'yes,' Spear testified before the Senate Environment and Public Works Committee. "ATA worked with the Environmental Protection Agency, producing Phases I and II emission reduction rules, as well as the SmartWay Transport Partnership – which has been a model of public-private cooperation. To date, 98.5% of all emissions have been removed from our tailpipes. In fact, 60 trucks today emit what one truck emitted in 1988."
