The Port of Los Angeles will hold a public workshop to provide a status update on the first phase of zero-emission infrastructure plans for container terminal cargo-handling equipment and drayage trucks in the San Pedro Bay port complex, in accordance with the three-party Cooperative Agreement among the Port of Los Angeles, Port of Long Beach and South Coast Air Quality Management District approved by the three governing boards and executed on Dec. 17, 2025.
The workshop will be held on Monday, Aug. 3, from 5-6 p.m., at Banning’s Landing Community Center, 100 E. Water St., Wilmington, CA 90744. Proceedings will be livestreamed here (Passcode 954539). Public comment and questions will be received in-person or virtually using the Q&A function on Zoom.
The South Coast Air Quality Management District Cooperative Agreement with the ports of Los Angeles and Long Beach covers all major port emission source categories, including cargo-handling equipment, harbor craft, trucks, trains and ocean-going vessels. The agreement calls on both ports to develop comprehensive zero-emission infrastructure plans in three phases, starting with a draft plan in May 2027. Approved plans for all emission categories are required under the agreement by the end of 2029.
The Cooperative Agreement builds on the success of the San Pedro Bay Ports Clean Air Action Plan (CAAP), a voluntary and unprecedented air quality program approved in 2006. Since that time, the Port of Los Angeles has cut overall emissions of diesel particulate matter (DPM) by 90%, sulfur oxides (SOx) by 98% and nitrogen oxides (NOx) by 73%.
The Port of Los Angeles is North America’s leading trade gateway and has ranked as the No. 1 container port in the United States for 26 consecutive years. In 2025, the Port generated $301 billion in trade and handled a total of 10.2 million container units, sustaining its top rank among U.S. ports. The Port remains focused on community investment, commitment to sustainability and environmental leadership, workforce development, and infrastructure improvement. San Pedro Bay port complex operations and commerce facilitate one in nine jobs across the Southern California counties of Los Angeles, Orange, Riverside, San Bernardino, and Ventura.
