DO YOU DRIVE A TRUCK TO THE PORT OF HUENEME?
The first step in complying with Clean Truck Check is to register your trucks in the database below:
CTC-VIS
Clean Truck Check
UPDATE: CARB is providing an initial grace period to fleets with respect to the freight facility requirements within the Clean Truck Check (CTC) program. As of 2/1/24, all vehicles subject to CTC will be considered compliant with respect to the freight facility requirements and the ports can allow vehicles to enter ports and railyards without verifying the vehicle for CTC compliance until July 1, 2024. Starting July 1, 2024, CARB will strengthen these requirements and incorporate a compliant CTC VIN list for ports to verify CTC compliance. In the coming months, CARB will continue to work with freight facilities to ensure a smooth transition into these more stringent requirements in July.
California DMV registration holds are automatically placed on vehicles that are not compliant with Clean Truck Check requirements. To avoid potential registration holds, report your vehicle in the Clean Truck Check reporting database (CTC-VIS) at https://cleantruckcheck.ca.arb.gov and pay any compliance fees that are due for 2023 and/or 2024.
For TeleCheck (eCheck) payments, please allow 7 business days for processing before you can download your certificate. Once a registration hold is placed on a vehicle, it will take 3 - 5 business days from the date the certificate is downloaded for that to be updated with DMV. CARB staff recommends that you allow enough time for processing prior to any deadline .
If DMV has placed an SB 210 registration hold on your vehicle and you believe your vehicle is compliant with Clean Truck Check, please email hdim@arb.ca.gov for assistance.
TRU ATCM 2022 Amendments
UPDATE: On December 4, 2023, a California trial court prohibited CARB from collecting the fees included in the 2022 amendments to the Airborne Toxic Control Measure for In-Use Diesel-Fueled Transport Refrigeration Units (TRU) and TRU Generator Sets, and Facilities Where TRUs Operate (TRU ATCM) at this time.
CARB intends to proceed with implementation of all other requirements included in the 2022 amendments and begin issuance of TRU compliance labels in early 2024.
TRU owners or operators are not required to pay TRU operating fees at this time. CARB staff will issue two TRU compliance labels to each compliant unit reported in the ARBER database. TRU owners will not receive compliance labels by December 31, 2023. In the meantime, owners may print a copy of their ARBER certificate to show proof of compliance.
Enforcement at the Port of Hueneme
CTC and the TRU ATCM 2022 amendments require applicable facilities, including California seaports, to comply with reporting and recordkeeping requirements. The Port of Hueneme’s proposed technology plan is preparing to allow all trucks and TRUs to enter and operate on Port with registration requirements for non-compliant trucks starting March 2026. If your truck is deemed non-compliant with CTC, please visit the Port’s Truck Registration page to enter the required information for your entry pass.
