The San Pedro Bay ports of Los Angeles and Long Beach have invited the public to comment on a draft 2021 feasibility assessment of cleaner drayage truck technologies needed to help the ports reduce air pollution and reach the ambitious zero-emissions goals adopted in the 2017 Clean Air Action Plan (CAAP) Update. Feedback may be submitted through Sept. 27.
The CAAP aims to arrive at zero-emissions from trucks by 2035 and zero-emissions from terminal equipment by 2030 in the area. As part of this strategy, the ports conduct feasibility assessments every three years, seeking input about drayage trucks and terminal equipment, to help guide the ports’ approach in meeting those goals.
The draft 2021 assessment, which builds upon the inaugural 2018 assessment, examines the current state of technology, operational characteristics, economic considerations, infrastructure availability and commercial readiness related to zero-emissions and low-emissions drayage trucks.
The draft 2021 feasibility assessment is available on the CAAP website. Comments can be emailed to caap@.
