The Port of Los Angeles recently announced Jan. 1 as the effective date for the next phase of the Clean Truck Program.

Trucks equipped with engine model years 1993 and earlier will be banned from POLA. Trucks with engines models 1993 to 2003 must be retrofitted with an approved diesel emission control system or be denied access.
The restrictions concur with similar regulations to take effect in port throughout the state per the California Air Resources Board.

More than 5,000 newer and retrofitted trucks already are at the Port and surrounding freeways due to the Clean Truck Program, which are making about 66 percent of the cargo container pick ups and drop offs at POLA, officials stated. The number is expected to jump to 90 percent in 2010.
The more than 6,500 trucks estimated by spring are expected to meet or exceed the EPA standards.

“That gets us to our clean air goal two years ahead of schedule, which allows everyone to breath easier,” said POLA Executive Director Geraldine Knatz in a statement.
