Home > The nation - truck driving job news > CALSTART to partner with New York and New Jersey Port Authority to promote use of zero-emission drayage trucks. Reading Time: 4 minutes NEW YORK CITY - CALSTART and the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey (Port Authority) announced a pair of incentive programs totaling $45 million to accelerate the adoption of zero-emission drayage trucks and terminal tractors, alongside the essential charging infrastructure needed to power them at the Port of New York and New Jersey. CALSTART stated in a recent media release that, commencing this fall, it will serve as the program designer and administrator for the Clean Truck Incentive (CTI) Program and Green Drayage Accelerator (GDA), looking to drive zero-emission commercial fleet adoption across the East Coast's busiest seaport. The release stated that CTI will deploy up to $39 million in point-of-sale vouchers for the purchase of zero-emission drayage trucks, yard tractors, and supporting charging infrastructure. The $5 million GDA program aims to award up to five electric truck charging hubs within 10 miles of the Port Authority's seaport facilities (or marine terminal facilities). The programs are designed to advance the Port Authority's sustainability goals by accelerating cleaner technologies while providing port operators with affordable, discounted electric vehicles and charging options. "They complement a multitude of other sustainability initiatives at the seaport as the Port Authority looks to encourage all links in the supply chain, including ocean carriers, container terminals, and trucking companies, to adopt greener operations," the release stated. "The agency has committed to reaching net-zero carbon emissions by 2050, including helping its wide universe of operating partners, tenants and contractors to reach the same goal in the same timeframe." "Drayage operators are the backbone of this port, keeping freight moving day and night from our terminals to warehouses and businesses across the region," said Port Authority Port Director Bethann Rooney. "We know that any shift towards cleaner operations must happen through real support and partnership, rather than top-down mandates. We're making zero-emission trucks and terminal tractors more affordable for the operators who keep this port running, backed by the charging infrastructure they'll need to power them." To ensure transparency and measure long-term impact, CALSTART will build and launch dynamic tracking dashboards for both initiatives. These tools will monitor deployment, vehicle performance, and charger utilization across port operations before being fully transferred to the Port Authority in 2028. Port Authority and CALSTART staff will conduct outreach with the trucking community through in-person and online presentations and informational pamphlets over the coming weeks. "Deploying zero-emission trucks at scale requires pairing accessible vehicle incentives with reliable, high-capacity charging," said CALSTART Executive Vice President of California and Regional Market Acceleration Alycia Gilde. "By combining flexible financial support with streamlined program administration, our partnership with the Port Authority lowers the barrier to entry for drayage operators, modernizing the East Coast supply chain while delivering immediate, tangible air quality improvements to local port communities." The programs are funded through a $451 million grant awarded to the Port Authority through the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's Clean Ports Program, the largest sustainability grant in Port Authority history. Beyond the CALSTART-administered programs, the grant will also fund the deployment of electric cargo handling equipment at marine terminals and the installation of vessel shore power infrastructure to allow container ships to plug in while at berth and shut down their auxiliary engines. A separate $3 million EPA planning grant will fund the creation of a Port Community Advisory Council. Subrecipients of the overall award will also be positioned to pursue workforce training and job creation efforts tied to the clean energy sector. "The trucks that move through our gates don't stop there. They fan out to warehouses and distribution hubs across the region, carrying the goods that power our economy," said Port Authority Chairman Kevin O'Toole. "This $45 million partnership with CALSTART puts zero-emission trucks, terminal tractors, and charging infrastructure within reach for the operators who serve this port every day. Cleaner trucks here mean cleaner air not just for our port facilities, but for every community along the routes these trucks travel." Discover more The programs will further strengthen the Port Authority's wide-ranging, ambitious sustainability agenda. Through its comprehensive net-zero roadmap, the agency has committed to reaching net-zero carbon emissions by 2050 while assisting the broad ecosystem of operating partners, tenants and contractors in reaching the same goals in the same timeframe. At the seaport, these efforts have taken several forms. The Truck Replacement Program provides financial incentives to trucking companies that swap out older, higher-emission engines for newer, cleaner ones. The Clean Vessel Incentive program similarly rewards ocean carriers that voluntarily reduce speed near the port, cutting air emissions and conserving fuel in the process. The agency has also built emissions requirements into its marine terminal rules and regulations, mandating that terminal operators shift to zero-emission cargo handling equipment as it becomes commercially available, a move designed to build market demand and push the industry toward further innovation. Additionally, the continued expansion of the seaport's on-dock ExpressRail system allows goods to move to the Midwest, New England, and eastern Canada more sustainably than trucking alone. The agency also opened an electric truck charging station at Port Newark last year, with four super-fast chargers located at the truck welcome center at Marlin and Kellogg streets. The port's tenants have pursued their own sustainability initiatives as well, among them Port Newark Container Terminal's recently completed solar installation. Progress toward the Port Authority's emissions goals is documented in the seaport's latest 2024 Air Emissions Inventory and Efficiency, which shows sulfur dioxide down 98 percent and both nitrogen oxide and particulate matter down more than 83 percent from 2006 baseline levels, even as cargo volume climbed nearly 71 percent over the same period. The new programs are also part of a broader push to streamline and improve conditions for the truckers who serve the port, alongside upgraded public restrooms, better roadway paving and striping, new wayfinding and navigation signage, and stronger channels for feedback between drayage drivers and port staff. Meanwhile, the ongoing Port Street Corridor Improvement Project is reworking and modernizing one of the port complex's key interchanges, aiming to make operations safer and more efficient for the thousands of trucks that pass through daily. "The Port Authority has committed to reaching net-zero by 2050, and we can't get there without bringing our tenants, contractors, and partners like the trucking community along with us," said Port Authority Executive Director Kathryn Garcia. "These new incentive programs make it financially realistic for drayage operators to switch to zero-emission trucks and yard equipment. Paired with other industry-leading programs and regulations, we're making sure we back up our ambitious sustainability commitments with real action."

Port of New york/new Jersey promotes zero-emission trucks. Sep 4, 2026 at 12:40 PM The Port Authority of New York and New Jersey (Panynj) has launched a grant program in collaboration with the non-profit organization CALSTART, amounting to $45 million, to accelerate the adoption of zero-emission trucks and the necessary charging infrastructure at the busiest container port on the East Coast. The programs, which will start in the fall of 2026, aim to support the sustainability goals of the Port Authority and improve air quality in the surrounding communities. Grant programs for zero-emission vehicles. The Clean Truck Incentive (CTI) program will provide up to $39 million in the form of vouchers for the purchase of zero-emission trucks and terminal tractors. Additionally, the Green Drayage Accelerator (GDA) program will promote the establishment of up to five charging centers for electric trucks within a 10-mile radius of the port facilities with $5 million. These initiatives are designed to facilitate access for port operators to affordable, zero-emission vehicles and charging options. The Port Authority is committed to achieving net-zero carbon emissions by 2050 and plans to support its partners and contractors during this period. "The trucks that pass through our gates are critical to the region's economy," said Kevin O'Toole, Chairman of the Port Authority. "This partnership with CALSTART brings zero-emission vehicles and the necessary infrastructure within reach of the operators who work at the port every day." Long-term impacts and transparency. CALSTART will design and manage the programs and plans to develop dynamic tracking dashboards to monitor the impact of the initiatives. These dashboards will document the usage of vehicles and charging infrastructure and are expected to be fully handed over to the Port Authority by 2028. To promote acceptance within the trucking community, informational events and materials are being planned. The funding for the programs comes from a $451 million grant awarded to the Port Authority under the Clean Ports Program of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). This is the largest sustainability grant in the history of the Port Authority. In addition to the CALSTART programs, the grant will also support the deployment of electric chargers for cargo handling at the marine terminals and enable the installation of shore power infrastructure for container ships. The new programs are part of a comprehensive sustainability strategy of the Port Authority, which already includes various initiatives, such as a Truck Replacement Program that provides incentives for replacing older, high-emission engines, as well as a Clean Vessel Incentive Program that rewards shipping companies for reducing their speed near the port. Additionally, the expansion of the port's ExpressRail system will enable more environmentally friendly transportation of goods to the Midwest region, New England, and Canada. The Port Authority has also opened a charging station for electric trucks at the Port of Newark, equipped with four fast chargers. Progress towards the Port Authority's emission goals is documented in the latest air emissions inventory, which shows a reduction of sulfur dioxide by 98% and nitrogen oxides and particulate matter by more than 83% since 2006, while cargo volume has increased by nearly 71% during the same period. The new programs are part of a comprehensive approach to improving conditions for truck drivers serving the port, including the modernization of roads and the enhancement of infrastructure.
NWSA taps CALSTART to administer Zero-Emission Drayage Assistance Program. The clean transportation nonprofit will provide free technical assistance services to drayage fleets serving the Ports of Seattle and Tacoma looking to transition to cleaner technologies and help decarbonize freight hubs. CALSTART Media Contact: Jennifer Smith, CALSTART (626) 744-5645, [email protected] TACOMA, WA - CALSTART, a leading global clean transportation nonprofit, has announced the launch of the Zero-Emission Drayage Assistance Program (ZDAP), a new program led by the Northwest Seaport Alliance (NWSA) in partnership with CALSTART. It will be used to educate drayage operators about the zero-emission vehicles (ZEVs) available on today's market and help them discover state-funded ZEVs and charging infrastructure incentives to make the transition to cleaner technologies a breeze. ZDAP is designed to eliminate confusion drayage operators may have about switching to zero-emission technologies. CALSTART, the program's lead consultant, will provide drayage operators with free personalized support to help them better understand today's zero-emission truck (ZET) market and evaluate their needs based on operational considerations, including fleet readiness and timelines. Fleets will be given one point of contact to help them navigate the process of identifying vehicles and financing opportunities and deploying zero-emission drayage technologies. "The ports' commitment through ZDAP and their development of charging depots with partners like Zeem, in addition to millions of dollars in truck orders through WAZIP, the state DOT incentive project, demonstrate that zero-emission trucks have real fuel and maintenance costs savings for fleets, paving the way for the zero-emission transition," said Niki Okuk, Director of New Incentive Programs, CALSTART. Program participation is optional, and there are no hidden fees associated with using the advisory services. Contact ZDAP program leads if you are interested in adopting zero-emission trucks and speaking to a fleet advisor today. Background People living in disadvantaged communities are most at risk for developing asthma and cardiovascular diseases from transportation-related air pollution because of their location near major freight corridors, including ports. To address these concerns, while also growing the ZET market, drayage operators are considering switching to ZEVs that reduce environmental health impacts. ZEV state incentive programs like the Washington Zero-Emission Incentive Program (WAZIP), funded by the state's Climate Commitment Act, reduce the cost of ZETs by offering point-of-sale discounts on medium- and heavy-duty zero-emission vehicles and are helping fleet owner-operators buy more affordable, cleaner vehicles. Drayage fleets ready to transition are encouraged to explore the WAZIP vehicle catalog and apply for funding before it is gone. As interest in zero-emission drayage grows, charging infrastructure is also breaking ground in the region. Zeem Solutions is developing a commercial vehicle charging site near SeaTac that is designed to support drayage operations with charging access and capabilities; it is expected to open at the end of 2026. Today, Washington State has surpassed 2,000 cumulative ZET deployments and continues to be one of the top five states with the fastest ZET adoption according to the normalized ZET score found in CALSTART's June 2026 Zeroing in on Zero-Emission Trucks report. NWSA continues to make freight decarbonization a priority and is working with partners like CALSTART to create an equitable and healthier tomorrow for drayage workers and residents near the Ports of Seattle and Tacoma. Through ZDAP, WAZIP, the NWSA's Clean Truck Program, and other statewide programs, Washington State will see widespread advancement of ZETs and better air quality. WAZIP will host a Ride & Drive event on September 21, 2026, from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. at Pacific Raceways in Kent, Washington. Attendees will have the opportunity to test drive and explore eligible zero-emission commercial vehicles and equipment, compare technologies from multiple manufacturers, and connect with dealers, utilities, technical advisors, and WAZIP staff. The event will provide practical information about WAZIP vouchers, funding opportunities, and technical assistance to help businesses evaluate vehicle and equipment options, better understand available incentives, and make informed decisions about transitioning to zero-emission transportation.
