Ports of LA, Long Beach seek public comment on clean truck goals

The public is invited to comment on a 2024 draft feasibility assessment on cleaner drayage truck technologies needed to help the ports of Los Angeles and Long Beach reduce air pollution in efforts to meet 2017 Clean Air Action Plan goals. Comments will be accepted through July 17.

To support the transition to a zero-emissions drayage truck fleet, the ports implemented the Clean Truck Fund Rate, collecting $10 per twenty-foot equivalent unit from diesel trucks calling at the ports. Collection began on April 1, 2022, and funding is made available through the nonprofit Calstart to help incentivize the purchase of zero-emission drayage trucks.
