CA AB2900

Requires the State Air Resources Board to establish the Small Agricultural Truck Fleet Assistance Program to provide technical assistance to owner-operators and small fleet owners in the agricultural sector for transitioning to cleaner, emission-compliant trucks

Prioritizes near-zero-emission or zero-emission trucks as feasible options for the transition assistance

Aims to minimize disruption to critical agricultural supply chains during the state's energy transition and ensure disadvantaged communities equitably benefit from emission reduction investments

Addresses the economic challenges faced by small agricultural operators who cannot afford to replace aging heavy-duty vehicles with newer, cleaner equipment under state emission compliance timelines
