Make your voice heard and tell your story at the upcoming Harbor Commission meetings where the Clean Truck Fund Rate will be decided.
In 2006, the ports created and approved their Clean Air Action Plan or CAAP to reduce port-related air pollution and related health risks. A critical component of the CAAP is the implementation of a Clean Truck Fund or CTF Rate. This rate will be imposed on large retailers and the money raised will be used to help truckers afford cleaner and ultimately zero-emission trucks by 2035.
The ports are proposing a rate of $10 per container moved in or out of the port. A counter rate of $50 per container has been proposed by BREATHE California of Los Angeles County, a nonprofit, non-partisan organization to raise enough funds to help provide subsidies for all the trucks that need to be replaced.
