Updated in 2017, the CAAP was created to provide a strategy for accelerating progress toward zero-emissions operations.
Since 2005, port-related air pollution emissions in San Pedro Bay have dropped 90% for diesel particulate matter, 70% for nitrogen oxides and 98% for sulfur oxides, according to port statistics. Targets for reducing greenhouse gases from port-related sources were introduced as part of the 2017 CAAP. The document calls for the ports to reduce GHGs 40% below 1990 levels by 2030 and 80% below 1990 levels by 2050.
The Clean Air Action Plan was originally approved in 2006. Emissions inventories can be viewed on the websites for the ports of Long Beach and Los Angeles.
The ports will take public comments in-person at the meeting to receive input on CAAP implementation. The agenda will be posted on the CAAP website prior to the meeting.
