San Diego's Board of Port Commissioners is expected to see a draft plan for a Clean Trucks Program at its June meeting.
The Port of San Diego is working on its own Clean Truck Program to cut emissions and add enforcement teeth to the two-cargo terminal port. The proposal looks to be less restrictive than a similar plan adopted at the Port of Los Angeles, but tough enough to allow trucks to be turned around at the gate for not meeting emissions standards.
In a memo from port staff, staff hinted that port leaders would likely consider adopting a measure similar to the Port of Oakland’s port truck regulation, which allows gate workers to deny entrance to trucks that don’t meet CARB’s port drayage truck regulation’s requirements.
