 | | | Clean Trucks Port Reduces Truck Pollution by 90%
 The Port of Long Beach's ambitious Clean Trucks Program has reduced air pollution from harbor trucks by 90 percent in a little over three years.
On New Year's Day 2012, the program will ban permanently the last remaining older, more polluting trucks from Port terminals. The final ban will take 280 of the oldest container trucks off Port roads, and all 11,000 drayage trucks servicing the Port terminals will be 2007 or newer models. With the industry replacing vehicles much sooner than expected, the result is a major reduction in air pollution.
