San Pedro Bay Ports Give Clean Air Action Plan Update

 

SAN PEDRO — 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 Nov. 21. The meeting will include updates on the 2023 emissions inventory, the technology advancement program and grants, and the status of technology feasibility assessments.

The meeting will be held at Long Beach City Hall, Bob Foster Civic Chambers. Proceedings will be livestreamed – participation is in-person only. Records of prior meetings can be found here.

Limited parking with validation will be available in the Long Beach Civic Center parking garage at 332 W. Broadway and Superior Court of California parking garage at 101 Magnolia Ave. Click here for a map of nearby parking facilities.

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. Since 2005, port-related air pollution emissions for both ports combined have dropped 91% for diesel particulate matter, 72% for nitrogen oxides, and 98% for sulfur oxides. Targets for reducing greenhouse gases from port-related sources were introduced as part of the 2017 CAAP. 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. View the latest emissions inventories for the Port of Los Angeles and the Port of Long Beach.

The ports will take public comments at the advisory meeting to receive input on CAAP implementation. The agenda will be posted on the CAAP website prior to the meeting. For more information, visit cleanairactionplan.org.
