UCLA is required to annually report all self-propelled off-road diesel vehicles with engines rated at 25 horsepower or greater, including:
- Lawn mowers
- Tractors
- Backhoes
- Vacuum sweepers
To reduce emissions, the regulation requires the phased replacement, retirement, or retrofit of older diesel equipment.
Regulated vehicles must:
- Display CARB-required identification labels
- Comply with CARB idling restrictions
- Be registered in CARB's Diesel Off-Road Online Reporting System (DOORS)
The LSI Regulation applies to certain off-road vehicles with:
- Engines rated at 25 horsepower or greater
- Displacement greater than 1 liter
Examples include:
- Forklifts (electric Class 1 or 2 rider trucks, or LSI-powered Class 4 or 5 rider trucks)
- Floor sweepers and scrubbers (electric or LSI-powered)
Although UCLA is not currently subject to LSI fleet requirements, Environmental Compliance reviews vehicle inventories annually to verify continued compliance.
All vehicles’ acquisitions and disposal for UCLA campus are through Fleet & Transit.

Fleet and Transit is required to register all regulated vehicles in CARB’s reporting system within 30-days of being placed into operation.
