Port of Seattle Gets 100 Old Trucks Off the Roads

Since November 2009, 100 older diesel trucks servicing the Port of Seattle have been permanently removed from service.

"We are excited to have reached this milestone so quickly," said Jim Nolan, interim executive director of the Puget Sound Clean Air Agency. "One hundred of the oldest, most-polluting trucks servicing the Port of Seattle have now been scrapped and replaced with trucks that emit 60 to 80 percent less air pollution, resulting in immediate air quality benefits for communities adjacent to the port."

The milestone has been partly due to the Seaport Truck Scrappage and Retrofits for Air in Puget Sound (ScRAPS) Program, administered by Cascade Sierra Solutions. The program provides owners of trucks with pre-1994 engines $5,000 to turn in their old vehicles for scrapping.
