Different port, same story? * USA - Oakland readies truck restrictions
Count the Port of Oakland as yet another port to join the recent trend of restricting trucks in the name of emissions and security
Oakland,CAL,USA -Land Line Magazine, by Charlie Morasch -September 9, 2009: -- According to documents posted on the Port of Oakland Web site, trucks wanting to enter the port will begin registering with the port this fall. By January, they’ll be required to sign a Secure Truck Enrollment Program, or STEP, agreement in order to enter the port... Eventually, the port may add “truck positioning technology” requirements... Oakland’s drayage truck registry is separate from the California Air Resources Board’s drayage truck registry... Joe Rajkovacz, OOIDA regulatory affairs specialist, said, Oakland’s port truck restrictions will likely remind many of similar programs at ports in Los Angeles and Long Beach... The Ports of Los Angeles and Long Beach have already implemented Clean Trucks programs that ban many trucks and require port-administered registration. Expensive fees associated with those registries have, however, been struck down by a court ruling...
