Port Reduces Truck Pollution by 80%
Program modernizes fleet, cleans air sooner than expected  The Port of Long Beach's ambitious Clean Trucks Program has reduced air pollution from harbor trucks by nearly 80 percent as of January 1, 2010.
On New Year's Day 2010, the Port banned trucks with 1993 and older engines, and also barred nearly all trucks with 1994-2003 engines. The Clean Trucks Program will ban all trucks that don't meet 2007 emission standards by 2012. With the industry replacing vehicles much sooner than expected, the result is a major reduction in air pollution -- two years ahead of schedule.
