Background:

logo for Drayage Truck Program The Drayage Truck Regulation is part of the Air Resources Board's (ARB) ongoing efforts to reduce PM and NOx emissions from diesel-fueled engines and improve air quality associated with goods movement.  In addition, this regulation also provides green house gas benefits and is designed to support local emissions reduction goals such as the Clean Air Action Plan by the ports of Los Angeles and Long Beach and the Comprehensive Truck Management Plan by the Port of Oakland.

This webpage will be maintained to provide a single site to obtain information on public meeting schedules, documents, contact information, regulatory status, and shared information.

The regulation requires port and rail authorities to report noncompliant truck information to the Air Resources Board according to a set schedule.  The following Excel document (SSD/PAB - #40) lists what information is required, the proper data format, and provides spreadsheets to report noncompliant truck information.
  • Noncompliant truck reporting Excel form (SSD/PAB-#40) - click here.
This form must be used to report noncompliant truck information.  However, a CSV file may be used with prior authorization.  The CSV file must be able to be exported cleanly with the same column breakdown as SSD/PAB-#40.  Please contact us for additional information.
