CLEAN TRUCKS PROGRAM * USA - LA/LB to Begin Disbursing Clean-truck Fees
More than $200,000 per day to help carriers purchase new vehicles
Los Angeles,CAL,USA -The Journal of Commerce, by Bill Mongelluzzo -Apr 2, 2009: -- The ports of Los Angeles and Long Beach have each been collecting more than $200,000 a day in clean-truck fees since Feb.18. They intend to begin disbursing that money soon to help motor carriers purchase new vehicles under their clean-truck programs... Meanwhile, the ports' Drayage Truck Registry has identified some 3,500 trucks that meet the 2007-model emission standards contained in the Clean Air Action Plan... Now that the ports are collecting the clean-truck fees, they are developing plans to disperse the revenue so that the trucking industry can meet the Jan. 1, 2010, deadline to replace all pre-1994 trucks with new vehicles or retrofit pre-2004 trucks with an acceptable device, said Don Snyder, director of trade relations at the Port of Long Beach... Also, the ports intend to use the subsidy money to encourage motor carriers to purchase alternative-fuel trucks, such as those that run on liquefied natural gas, Snyder said...
