Coming Soon – New Truck Scrapping Program at Port of Seattle

This program, which is partially funded by a federal grant, is expected to provide up to $20,000 to owners who scrap old drayage trucks and replace them with trucks with model-year 2007 or newer engines. The current level of funding will provide incentives for approximately 160 trucks. This project is expected to run through mid-2015, or until funds are depleted. The program and application processes are currently being designed. The port also is investigating other financing and assistance programs to help truck owners meet the Clean Truck Program requirements.
 
Truck Requirements
On January 1, 2018, all drayage trucks entering Port of Seattle container terminals will be required to have model year 2007 or newer engines, or meet 2007 federal emission standards.
