Owners and operators of heavy-duty trucks navigating California roads now have until Jan. 31, 2024, to submit their initial compliance reports for inclusion in the California Air Resource Board’s (CARB) Clean Truck Check (CTC) program database. This extension alters the previous deadline, which required vehicle and fleet operators to complete CARB’s initial reporting and payment of the compliance fee for 2023 by Jan. 1, 2024.
The registration portal for this process is accessible at cleantruckcheck.arb.ca.gov.
CARB’s subsequent compliance deadline is anticipated in July, wherein owners will be obligated to report the outcomes of a smog check, ensuring that their vehicles’ emissions control systems are functioning correctly or have undergone necessary repairs.
To achieve compliance with the CTC for 2023, owners must report pertinent information about both themselves and their vehicles, remit annual compliance fees, and fulfill periodic testing requirements by the revised deadline of Jan. 31, 2024.
CARB specifies that these reporting requirements are applicable to vehicles with a gross vehicle weight rating (GVWR) exceeding 14,000 pounds and powered by either diesel or alternative fuel. This includes both in-state and out-of-state vehicles operating within California, encompassing public vehicles (federal, state, and local); motorcoaches; transit, shuttle, and school buses; personal vehicles; California-registered motorhomes; single-vehicle fleets; and vehicles registered outside California (excluding motorhomes).
