CA SB671

Establishes the Clean Freight Corridor Efficiency Assessment, to be developed by the California Transportation Commission in coordination with state agencies, to identify freight corridors prioritized for deployment of zero-emission medium- and heavy-duty vehicles.

Requires the Commission to submit a report with assessment findings and recommendations to the Legislature by December 1, 2023, and mandates incorporation of findings into the California Transportation Plan and state freight plan.

Assessment must identify the top five freight corridors with heaviest volume and highest diesel exhaust exposure, and evaluate needed infrastructure including charging/fueling stations, highway improvements, and micro-grid technologies.

Expands eligible projects under the Trade Corridor Enhancement Account and federal freight program funding to include advanced technology projects and environmental/community mitigation efforts that reduce freight movement impacts.

State Air Resources Board, Public Utilities Commission, and State Energy Resources Conservation and Development Commission must incorporate assessment findings into their freight infrastructure and technology programs where feasible.
