The agreement provides funding to northwest seaport alliance

This federal Project Grant award from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) under the Diesel Emissions Reduction Act (CFDA 66.039) provides $1,800,000.00 in funding to the Northwest Seaport Alliance (NWSA) to reduce diesel emissions in the Port of Tacoma area.

Specifically, the grant will support scrapping 30 pre-2007 drayage trucks serving the NWSA's domestic container terminals and replacing them with newer, cleaner diesel trucks with 2017 or newer engines. This is expected to result in a lifetime reduction of 9.87 tons of diesel particulate matter emissions, benefiting residents in the port area. No sub-awards are included under this agreement.
