The Ports of Long Beach and Los Angeles have received an award from <\/p>\n

the Southern California Association of Governments (SCAG) for the ports\u2019 Clean <\/p>\n

Truck Fund (CTF) initiative.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"Ports<\/p>\n

The programme helps fund and incentivise the changeover to cleaner trucks <\/p>\n

serving the San Pedro Bay port complex, and is part of the ports\u2019 broader <\/p>\n

efforts to achieve zero-emissions drayage trucking by 2035.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Created to help accelerate the development of zero-emission (ZE) <\/p>\n

technology, the CTF collects a rate of $10 per TEU on loaded import and export <\/p>\n

cargo containers hauled by drayage trucks as they enter or leave container <\/p>\n

terminals. Rate collection began in April 2022.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Through its first 24 months at the two ports, the CTF collected a total of <\/p>\n

$153.7 million, funds which are being allocated to support incentives for the <\/p>\n

purchase of ZE drayage trucks and related charging infrastructure.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The CTF programme builds on the ports\u2019 original Clean Truck Program <\/p>\n

approved in 2008, which mandated the phase-out of older, more polluting trucks <\/p>\n

serving the San Pedro Bay port complex. Since that time, air pollution from <\/p>\n

trucks at the complex is down more than 90 per cent.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\u201cThe communities of Southern California deserve the cleanest fleet of <\/p>\n

drayage trucks in the world, and the San Pedro Bay ports are committed to that <\/p>\n

goal,\u201d said Long Beach Harbor Commission President Bobby Olvera Jr.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\u201cWe thank the Southern California Association of Governments for <\/p>\n

recogniSing the ports\u2019 noteworthy efforts to transition to zero-emissions <\/p>\n

trucks.\u201d<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Clean Truck Fund allows the ports to move forward aggressively to <\/p>\n

decarbonise goods movement, by financially supporting the purchase of cleaner <\/p>\n

trucks and creation of the supporting infrastructure,\u201d said Port of Long Beach <\/p>\n

CEO Mario Cordero.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\u201cAs we bring clean air benefits throughout the region, we\u2019re grateful for <\/p>\n

this honor from SCAG.\u201d<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Moreover, Port of Los Angeles Executive Director, Gene Seroka, said: \u201cWe <\/p>\n

appreciate the recognition of our efforts to incentivize zero-emission truck <\/p>\n

manufacturing, as well as support trucking companies\u2019 transition from diesel to <\/p>\n

cleaner technologies.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\u201cTogether with private industry, we are working to help make these future <\/p>\n

trucks commercially available and affordable.\u201d<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Just recently, the Port of Los Angeles and the California Department of <\/p>\n

Transportation (Caltrans) announced it will begin construction on a $130 million <\/p>\n

transportation project.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
