Study shows 90 percent of Tacoma’s port trucks compliant
A recent study shows that 90 percent of the heavy-duty trucks serving terminals meet the Port of Tacoma’s 2010 clean truck standards. That is 4 percent more trucks than a year ago explained Ron Stuart, environmental project manager for the port.
The study, presented to port commissioners on Feb. 18, captured about 3,100 short-haul drayage trucks that regularly serve terminals on the Tideflats. Along with highlighting the 90 percent benchmark set by trucks this year, staff also noted that about 6 percent meet the 2015 standard of model year 2007 or newer – up 2 percent from last year.
