About the Port of Los Angeles Clean Truck Program

Building a cleaner future today

The Port of Los Angeles’ Clean Truck Program is a central element of the Clean Air Action Plan, which targets major sources of air emissions at the Ports of Los Angeles and Long Beach – ships, trains, trucks, cargo handling equipment and harbor craft. 

The Clean Truck Program:

Establishes a progressive ban on polluting trucks 

• October 1, 2008: All pre-1989 trucks were banned from entering the Port
• January 1, 2010: 1989-1993 trucks will be banned, in addition to 1994-2003 trucks that have not been retrofitted
• January 1, 2012: All trucks that do not meet the 2007 Federal Clean Truck Emissions Standards will be banned from the Port

Improves regional air quality

In its first year, the program reduced the rate of port truck emissions by an estimated 70 percent. When fully implemented in 2012, port truck emissions will be reduced by more than 80 percent.

Establishes a Concession Program

Concessionaires are held accountable for vehicle maintenance, insurance, security, and safety measures.

Facilitates the replacement of old trucks with low-emission vehicles

The Clean Truck Program is ahead of schedule in successfully achieving its objectives. That’s good news for the Port of Los Angeles, our communities – and most importantly, our environment. By creating a cleaner port, we’re building a brighter future for everyone.
