FASTER FREIGHT – CLEANER AIR CALIFORNIA 2009<br />
Sustainable growth for the goods movement industry with a focus on<br />
the technologies, policies, and strategies that make it possible.<br />
Now in its sixth year as the nation’s premier conference on freight mobility and air quality, <strong>Faster</strong> <strong>Freight</strong> – <strong>Cleaner</strong> <strong>Air</strong><br />
(FFCA) returns to Long Beach in 2009 with a sharp focus on the preeminent issues facing the goods movement industry<br />
today. While California continues to be recognized as a leader in the implementation of progressive clean air policies,<br />
the combined forces of variable economic conditions, expanding regulatory policies, and emerging technologies are yet<br />
again changing what a sustainable business model looks like in our industry.<br />

potential improvements lie across a variety of modes of transport. This year’s<br />

inventories and manages policy and regulatory implications of<br />
greenhouse gases and climate change;<br />

alternative energy options;<br />
• Can reduce the impact on climate change by implementing<br />
green infrastructure design and development, emission<br />
control technologies and sustainable development;<br />
• Is taking steps to reduce the supply chain carbon footprint;<br />
• Moves forward with the implementation of clean truck programs<br />
and alternatives; and,<br />
• Explores new funding opportunities to support costs for clean<br />
air technologies that will provide long-term community and<br />
economic benefits.<br />
