The Indirect Source Review (ISR) (S.1180-C / A.3575-C) would impose penalties on owners or operators of warehouses, distribution centers, and logistics facilities based on the number and type of trucks serving those facilities. Compliance credits are provided only for zero-emission vehicles (ZEVs) — essentially imposing a backdoor electric truck mandate. While intended to address emissions, this approach would unfairly shift responsibility onto warehouses and trucking companies that do not control vehicle manufacturing, technology availability, or infrastructure deployment.

An ISR program would increase costs throughout the supply chain, create additional administrative burdens, reduce operational efficiency, and make New York businesses less competitive with neighboring states. These costs will ultimately be borne by carriers, shippers, warehouses, and consumers.

It is critical that legislators hear directly from trucking industry stakeholders about the real-world impacts of this proposal. We encourage all members to contact their State Senator and Assemblymember and urge them to oppose any legislation or regulatory action establishing an Indirect Source Review program for warehouses. Your voice is essential to ensuring that New York pursues practical, achievable environmental solutions that protect both air quality and the movement of goods that drives our economy.
