Port of Los Angeles Clean Truck Program

The Clean Truck Program is designed to encourage rapid improvement of air quality at the Port of Los Angeles through use of grants and financial incentives that will allow trucking companies to accelerate the replacement of older, high-polluting trucks with newer, cleaner trucks.  The program will also help to assure a long term sustainable local trucking system that will be able to facilitate goods movement at our Port for many years to come.  A special feature of the program is that it provides subsidies to encourage the use of alternative fuels and other emerging technologies for powering new clean trucks. A key element of the Port’s sweeping Clean Air Action Plan, the Clean Truck Program is expected to create a more consolidated network of Concessionaires who can be held accountable for maintaining trucks and employing properly trained and credentialed drivers. Proper maintenance will help ensure lower emissions output over the life of a truck. The program also will enhance Port security and public safety because the Concessionaires will have to ensure that their trucks and the employees that drive them meet security and safety standards. In addition, Concessionaires will be required to have a designated place of business and provide proof of adequate off-street parking, reducing the impact of trucks driving into communities near the Port and parking in front of homes or businesses.
