BUT, eliminating them will inevitably shift the far greater costs of pollution onto California families, workers and taxpayers through preventable illness, missed work and higher health care expenses. 🩺

So are they expensive? No, these regulations are not expensive for international shipping and oil companies ($1.14 for each shipping container, $7.66 for each automobile transported and less than 1 cent for each gallon of finished product carried by a tanker).

Now under attack, the at-berth program requires ships to stop pumping toxic diesel exhaust that has negative health impacts for the people that live and work nearby. Since the program began in 2018, it has achieved an 80% reduction in harmful emissions across more than 13,000 vessel visits. 💨

Dirty tricks: Why is Congress voting to scrap California’s clean air protections?
This congressional overstep is creating an alarming precedent, threatening states’ authority to protect their residents from toxic pollution. The Senate must step in to stop it.

It is good to see Metro take a strong position in support of dedicated lanes so we can have a true Bus Rapid Transit system. We need to put a stop to cities demanding everything from Metro and doing absolutely zero in return. I hope @metrolosangeles.bsky.social wins this and we can build it.

OCTA CEO says the quiet part out loud: they think Metrolink has *too much* service. If you think that's wrong, contact the OCTA Board before June 8th. www.sbsun.com/2026/05/15/r...
‘Rightsizing’ option

Transportation authorities, however, are divided on the best response to Metrolink’s budget challenges. OCTA  questions whether it’s necessary to return to full service, but that sentiment is not universal — Kettle said Riverside, San Bernardino and Ventura counties are asking for increased service.

OCTA’s Johnson believes Metrolink service needs to be “rightsized.”

“Is the product that you’re selling what people want?” Johnson asks. Running 164 trains a day is “probably a bit too many,” he said.

This column in @calmatters.org is right - “A handful of firms — just five major refineries — have a lock on nearly all in-state refining capacity. When global supplies tighten, that concentration gives those firms enormous pricing power.” calmatters.org/commentary/2...
calmatters.org
Opinion | The solution to high gas prices is using less oil, not delaying California’s climate programs
Climate programs cause smaller costs in California's gas prices, but the limited supply routes and a highly concentrated refining market cause bigger price boosts.
