The Port can only move ahead with its improvement projects with the support of the community and poliNcal leaders
Clean Air AcNon Plan (CAAP)
• Minimize health risk from port operaNons
• Build upon exisNng programs
• Set consistent standards • Enable port development
Air Quality
Clean Air AcNon Plan (CAAP)
Groundbreaking plan to significantly reduce air polluNon and health risk Strategies targeNng reducNons from all port sources Developed jointly with POLA, in cooperaNon with EPA, CARB and AQMD
Clean Air AcNon Plan
Reduce air polluNon Reduce health risk 85% by 2020 Strategies for all source categories • ships • trucks • trains • harbor craa • cargo-‐handling equipment
•
Sources of Diesel Emissions*
Ships 64%
Harbor craa 13%
Trains 8%

Vessel Strategies
Ocean-‐Going Vessels • Green Flag Vessel Speed ReducNon Program • Shore-‐to-‐ship electricity • Low-‐sulfur diesel fuels • NOx and PM controls
Harbor Craa • Re-‐power or replace vessels
Clean Trucks
• 11,000 trucks registered • Including more than 700 LNG trucks
• Truck related polluNon reduced more than 90% in three years
