Clean Ports USA is an incentive-based, innovative program designed to reduce emissions from existing diesel engines and nonroad equipment at ports. We recognize and applaud the efforts of ports and fleet owners who voluntarily engage in emission reduction strategies.

This site provides a broad range of information about technologies and strategies for emissions reduction at ports. The following page links help you to:

Basic Information: Learn more about Clean Ports USA's initiative and the importance of diesel emissions reduction at ports.
Where You Live: Track and see where various diesel emissions reduction projects are being implemented at ports across the U.S.
What You Can Do: Learn the strategies that port authorities, fleet owners, drayage truckers, and rail and locomotive owner/operators are implementing. Use the Diesel Emissions Quantifier tool for estimating diesel emissions reductions from clean diesel projects.
Technologies: Find information on different emissions reduction strategies, such as: retrofit; replacement; refueling; rebuilding; repowering; and operational strategies.
Grants & Funding: Learn about available funding opportunities for adopting cleaner diesel technologies and strategies.
Case Studies: Learn from the successes of other ports, terminals and fleet owners who are implementing diesel reduction projects.
Publications: Download available print material and studies, which offer information relating to ports.
