PANYNJ, CALSTART Launch Electric Truck Incentive Programs

The Port Authority of New York and New Jersey clean transportation nonprofit CALSTART announced a pair of incentive programs totaling $45 million to accelerate the adoption of zero-emission (ZE) drayage trucks and terminal tractors, alongside the essential charging infrastructure needed to power them at the Port of New York and New Jersey.

Commencing this fall, CALSTART will serve as the program designer and administrator for the Clean Truck Incentive (CTI) Program and Green Drayage Accelerator (GDA), looking to drive zero-emission commercial fleet adoption across the East Coast’s busiest seaport. CTI will deploy up to $39 million in point-of-sale vouchers for the purchase of zero-emission drayage trucks, yard tractors, and supporting charging infrastructure. The $5 million GDA program aims to award up to five electric truck charging hubs within 10 miles of the Port Authority’s seaport facilities (or marine terminal facilities). The programs are designed to advance the Port Authority’s sustainability goals by accelerating cleaner technologies while providing port operators with affordable, discounted electric vehicles and charging options.
