What Is WAIRE?
May 08, 2024
Warehouse Actions and Investments to Reduce Emissions (WAIRE), sometimes called the Indirect Source Rule, is a truck traffic-based credit and deficit system impacting class 2B to class 8 trucks. Under the rule, some facility operators must monitor and submit accurate vehicle travel data, and they must earn a specified number of points through emissions-reducing activities or pay mitigation fees. The regulation also requires warehouses with ≥100,00 ft2 of indoor space within a single building to complete emission mitigation actions and investments.
