The ports of Los Angeles and Long Beach will give a progress update on the San Pedro Bay Ports Clean Air Action Plan or CAAP July 30.

Participation is in-person only; a virtual meeting link (live only) is available for online observers here – https://tinyurl.com/CAAP-Virtual-Mtg-link

Limited street and lot parking is available. For validated lot parking, the Liberty Hill Plaza parking lot is across the street from the Harbor Administration Building.

Updated in 2017, the CAAP is a comprehensive strategy for accelerating progress toward a zero-emissions future while protecting and strengthening the ports’ competitive position in the global economy. The document calls for the ports to reduce GHGs 40% below 1990 levels by 2030 and 80% below 1990 levels by 2050. The Clean Air Action Plan was originally approved in 2006.

The ports will take public comments in-person at the advisory meeting to receive input on CAAP implementation. The agenda will be posted on the CAAP website prior to the meeting. 

Time: 10 a.m. to 12 p.m., July 30 

Cost: Free
