Shall Muni be required to replace diesel buses purchased before 1991, and shall any new Muni vehicles be required to meet the anti-pollution standards that apply to other City vehicles?

Summary:
Measure I is an ordinance that would require Muni to replace all diesel buses purchased before
1991. Muni would have to replace the oldest of these buses starting in 2004 and the rest by the end of 2006. Any new Muni vehicles would be required to meet the anti-pollution standards that apply to other City departments. Under limited circumstances, the San Francisco Transportation Authority could give Muni an extension of up to one year to replace these old diesel buses. To get an extension, Muni would have to show that it would reduce air pollution during the extension. The City's Department of the Environment would review and comment on Muni's plan to reduce pollution.
