Chris Shimoda, CTA Vice President of Government Affairs, will be on the 1:30pm Port Electrification panel.

In November 2017, the Los Angeles and Long Beach harbor commissioners adopted an update to the 2006 Clean Air Action Plan to transition to cleaner fuels for goods movement in and around the ports in the next two decades.

Achieving the vision for clean air at the ports by 2030 requires answers to several important questions: What are the prospects and potential for various zero-emission technologies – including battery electrification – to reduce pollution? How can finance, permitting and community engagement support the transition to cleaner fuels? What new policy and industry actions are needed for cost-effective deployment? This conference will discuss these and other issues that industry, government and civil society leaders must address to reach zero emissions goods movement at the ports.
