The Clean Trucks component of the CTMP was developed to help ensure that drayage truck-related air emissions are reduced as quickly as possible. The Clean Trucks component addresses the relationship between the CTMP, California Air Resources Board (CARB) regulations, and the Port’s drayage truck ban, and provides information on the Port’s role in helping truck owners comply with these requirements.
Port of Oakland Maritime Facilities (Seaport)

NOTE: The Seaport is denoted by color shading within the solid black line, and generally includes marine container terminals, the OIG intermodal rail yard, the area adjacent to the OIG on the north, and portions of the former Oakland Army Base. Schnitzer Steel and Union Pacific Rail yard are on private land that is not owned or controlled by the Port; as such the CTMP does not apply to these facilities.

*Additional requirements may apply in 2021 for all drayage trucks pursuant to CARB Regulations. |
In October 2009, the Oakland Board of Port Commissioners approved a truck ban that is consistent with the January 2010 CARB deadline for drayage trucks. Effective January 1, 2010, the ban requires that Seaport facility operators deny entry to drayage trucks that cannot demonstrate compliance with the CARB January 2010 emissions requirements listed in the table above. All non-compliant drayage trucks would be denied entry unless one of the following can be demonstrated:
- The truck is exempted by CARB
- Requirements have been waived by CARB
- CARB has issued an extension for the truck
At the discretion of the Seaport facility operator, non-compliant trucks carrying cargo that is overweight or over-dimension may be allowed access into the facility. However, the facility operator must collect information on the truck, driver, dispatching motor carrier, and transaction prior to allowing access. The collected information will be submitted to CARB for enforcement action against the truck owner and dispatching motor carrier.
Any truck driver with a non-compliant drayage truck that is denied access to a Seaport facility may go to the Port’s Customer Service Center (CSC) on Monday-Friday between 7:30 am-4:00 pm to request a one-time Temporary Non-Compliance Pass. The location of the CSC is identified in the map above. After submitting information regarding the truck, driver, dispatching motor carrier, and transaction, the CSC may issue a one-time Temporary Non-Compliance Pass to the truck operator allowing the truck access to the facility. No more than one Pass for any one truck will be issued. Additionally, the collected information will be submitted to CARB for enforcement action against the truck owner and dispatching motor carrier.
Temporary Non-Compliance Passes will not be issued beyond December 31, 2010.
Port Ordinance 4112, which sets forth the Truck Ban, may be viewed here .
Together, the Port, Bay Area Air Quality Management District (BAAQMD), CARB, and Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) have provided $22 million in grants for truck retrofit and replacement to assist truck owners to meet the January 1, 2010 CARB deadline.
Additionally, the Port has partnered with One California Bank to make available loans and financial assistance to help truck owners upgrade their equipment. Truck owners are encouraged to stop by the Grants Information Center at OT-411, located at 11 Burma Road (off Maritime Avenue) adjacent to the Seaport, for more information.
