Ports Implement Clean Trucks Program
Initiative to Cut Air Pollution from Harbor Trucks by 80%

The ports of Long Beach and Los Angeles have launched a Clean Trucks Program that will reduce air pollution from harbor trucks by more than 80 percent by 2012.

The Clean Trucks Program is outlined in the Clean Air Action Plan. Diesel-powered harbor trucks are a major source of air pollution. In October 2008, pre-1989 trucks were banned. The Clean Trucks Program progressively bans all trucks that don't meet 2007 emission standards by 2012.
