All Port authorities are eligible to apply; community groups, local governments, terminal operators, shipping carriers and other businesses may partner with port authorities.
Eligible projects may include drayage trucks, marine engines, locomotives, and cargo handling equipment.
Grant funds may be used for retrofit technologies that are verified by EPA or CARB; idle reduction technologies for marine vessels and locomotives that are EPA verified; and early replacement or repower with certified engine configuration.
