Clean Truck Program * USA - Seattle port readies for January enforcement
Seattle,WASH,USA -Land Line Magazine, by Charlie Morasch -July 12, 2010: ... On Jan. 1, 2011, Seattle will require trucks entering the city’s port to be compliant with 1994 model year engine emissions standards. Also by that time, all trucks serving the ports’ container terminals must be registered with the port’s drayage truck registry... By 2015, 80 percent of trucks making port calls must meet 2007 model year engine standards, and that figure rises to 100 percent by 2017... According to a 2008 report, at least 75 percent of trucks making port calls at the ports of Seattle, Tacoma and Vancouver had 1994 or newer model year engines. Styrk said port leaders have found that long-haul truckers drive newer trucks than local drayage operators... The port has a Support Truck Scrappage and Retrofits for Air in Puget Sound Program, also known as ScRAPS, in which truck owners can turn in their pre-1994 model year engine trucks for either $5,000 or the blue book value, “whichever is higher,” the port website says... The port also offers free overnight truck parking for up to 120 drayage trucks at Terminal 25-South... (Photo from qbx.net: Port of Seattle)
