The longer-term purpose of the ACC program, according to ARB, is to shape the development of light-duty transportation to contribute to meeting the state’s 2050 GHG reduction goal of 80% below 1990 levels. Beyond 2025, ARB notes, the driving force for lowering emissions in California will thus be climate change.
