Addressing the emission regulation requirements in California, the Form 149, known as the Three Day Pass Exemption Form, provides a necessary reprieve for fleet owners. This crucial document allows a specific vehicle to bypass the stringent emission reduction obligations outlined under the Truck and Bus Regulation for a temporary period of three consecutive days. Designed to cater to vehicles that don’t meet the standard emission reduction criteria, this pass can be availed by a company once every calendar year, ensuring that operational needs can be met without compromising on environmental regulations. The form mandates detailed information about the vehicle owner, including the company’s name, taxpayer ID, contact details, and specifics related to the vehicle itself such as the Vehicle Identification Number (VIN), manufacturer, model year, and engine model year. It also outlines the process to obtain this temporary exemption, highlighting the need for submission to the Air Resources Board (ARB) three days prior to the vehicle's intended entry into California. Furthermore, it conveys the absence of mileage limitations under the pass, while emphasizing situations wherein obtaining a Three Day Pass becomes essential, especially for fleet owners utilizing flexibility options or affected by the engine model year schedule. This approach not only assists in maintaining regulatory compliance but also supports business continuity for fleet operators within the state.

What is a Three Day Pass?
A Three Day Pass is a temporary permit that allows a fleet owner to operate one vehicle per calendar year in California that does not meet the emission reduction requirements of the Truck and Bus regulation. The three day period begins at 12:00 am on the date you specify on the form.
How do I obtain a Three Day Pass?
You must complete a request form and submit the information to the Air Resources Board (ARB) three days prior to the vehicle entering California. The pass will be granted as long as it is the first request made by the fleet in the calendar year. If the ARB fails to respond by the date of the vehicles planned entry, the vehicle may operate in California for the requested

Is there a limit on the number of miles I can operate under this pass?
There are no mileage limits for a vehicle operating during the three day period specified in an approved Three Day Pass.
Do I need a Three Day Pass?
If you reported the vehicle as part of your fleet to use the phase in option or flexibility options in the regulation, and your fleet is in compliance, you do not need a three day pass. The following are situations that you should use a three day pass:
•If you reported to use flexibility options but you need to temporarily bring a vehicle into California that you did not report.
•If you are using the model year schedule to comply (not required to report) and you want to temporarily bring a noncompliant truck into California. A summary of the engine model year schedule for heavier trucks is shown below
