Major Victory for LA’s Clean Trucks Program
by Aditi Vaidya
Last Thursday, a district court judge in California ruled in favor of the Los Angeles Clean Truck program. This ruling removes the legal hurdles that have prevented the Port of Los Angeles from enforcing all provisions of one of the most effective diesel reduction programs in the country.
The ruling comes just months after the Coalition for Clean and Safe Ports and the East Bay Alliance for a Sustainable Economy took the fight to fix the broken port trucking system all the way to Washington, DC for a historic hearing on clean trucks and ports.
