3 Mobile Air Toxic Exposure Study (MATES) Change in CAMx RTRAC Simulated Air Toxics Risk (per million) from the to 2005 (using back-cast 1998 emissions and MM5 generated meteorological data fields)

4 Mobile Pollution Sources at Ports

5 Clean Air Action Plan Goals Minimize Health Risk from Port Operations Contribute fair share to reducing regional mass emissions Enable Port development Set consistent source-specific standards Updated Health Risk Reduction Standard 85% by 2020 (compared to 2005 baseline) Emission Reductions Standard NOx 22% by 2014 and 59% by 2023 SOx 93% by 2014 (and 2023) DPM 72% by 2014 and 77% by 2023

6 HEAVY-DUTY TRUCKS Banned older trucks 95% pollution reduction Upgrade completed 2 years early

7 OCEAN-GOING VESSELS Vessel Speed Reduction Clean Ships Shore Power Cleaner Fuels Environmental Ship Index Technology Incentives (OGV6)

8 CARGO-HANDLING EQUIPMENT Replacements ahead of regulation Set Standards in Lease Agreements

9 HARBOR CRAFT World s only hybrid tugboat Engine upgrades ahead of regulation

10 LOCOMOTIVES Cleaner engines Increased on-dock rail

12 Outcomes Reduction in Community DPM (Air Monitoring Data) Annual Average EC Concentrations at the Port of Los Angeles Wilmington Community St. Coastal Boundary St. San Pedro Community St. "Source-Dominated" St. EC Concentration (µg/m 3 ) Year Notes: Elemental carbon is considered to be a surrogate for diesel particulate mater (DPM). No federal/state standards have been established for elemental carbon.

13 Port Tech LA Mission: To attract and mentor companies with technologies that enable the Port of Los Angeles, and ports worldwide, to meet their immediate and future environmental, energy, security, and logistics goals

26 Environmental Challenges Environmental responsibility in an evolving maritime industry: Cargo volumes not increasing at rates from previous decade Shipping alliances are focused on costs Increased environmental controls could effect competitiveness Local community investment to improve quality of life Environmental and permit approval processes can be slow and deliberate, thus delaying development

27 Technical Issues Continued reduction of criteria pollutants Cargo volumes increasing Climate Change Reduce dependence on combustion-based engine technologies Energy Planning Supply Chain Efficiency

28 Clean Air Action Plan: The Future Mobile/Stationary source strategies Zero emissions/near-zero emissions Greenhouse gases Energy Supply chain efficiencies

29 Reaching Out to Our Partners Industry groups Shipping lines, terminals, harbor craft operators, trucking companies, rail Regulatory agencies Environmental Protection Agency, Air Resources Board, South Coast Air Quality Management District Environmental organizations Community groups

30 What We ve Heard Need more emission reductions and new goals Significant investments have already been made No commercialized zero-emissions technologies New technologies can pose operational challenges

31 What We re Wrestling With How do we get to zero-emissions? How do we prioritize our air strategies for the community? How do we balance the environment with economic competitiveness? Once we answer these questions what strategies do we employ?

32 Zero Emission Roadmap

33 Harbor Department Zero Zero Emissions White Paper Harbor Department Role: Emissions Program Harbor Department staff believes that short-haul drayage and on-terminal container handling equipment are the two areas of maritime goods movement operations where zero and near-zero emission solutions are most likely to develop in the near-term. Facilitate expanded testing and deployment Establish clear test guidelines and procedures Plan and Develop Port Infrastructure (battery charging standardization) Work with regional stakeholders on testing and development Demonstrate broad commercial availability and cost OEMs must see opportunity and develop commercially available ZE units, servicing Increased production volume will reduce cost Demonstrate operational reliability Show that they work full marine duty cycles and have long-term dependability

34 California Sustainable Freight Plan Executive Order B-32-15: Pilot Project Ideas Directs California to improve freight efficiency, transition to zeroemission technologies and increase competitiveness of the freight system through an action plan and pilot projects. Pilot Project ideas should be sent to the California Air Resources Board and are due on November 30, 2015 Zero Emissions Truck Collaborative to submit ideas through Metro: The County-wide Zero Emission Truck Collaborative includes the Port of Los Angeles and is lead by the Los Angeles County Metropolitan Transportation Authority (Metro). Metro will provide Pilot Project Ideas as part of a Los Angeles/Gateway Freight Technology Program.

35 California Sustainable Freight Plan Pilot Project Ideas Pilot Project Ideas: Freight Advanced Traveler Information System (FRATIS) Deployment (Approximately 15,000 trucks) Deployment of Zero and Near Zero Truck Technologies (Approximately 50 trucks) Arterial Smart Corridors: Deploying Connected Vehicle and Intelligent Transportation Systems strategies on freight corridors (approximately 273 intersections, 8 corridors) Freeway Smart Corridors: Deploying Connected Vehicle and Integrated Corridor Management strategies on the I-710 and I-110 freeways Connected Vehicle Technology: Equipping FRATIS trucks and Zero/Near-Zero Emission trucks to communicate with the Arterial and Freeway Smart Corridors

36 International Collaboration Working Together to Reach Our Goals Pacific Ports Clean Air Collaborative (PPCAC) Coordination with ports along the Pacific Rim World Ports Climate Initiative (WPCI) Carbon Footprinting Guide for Ports, Carbon Calculator, GHG Toolbox, Environmental Ship Index World Association for Waterborne Transport Infrastructure (PIANC) Port Sustainability Reference Guide West Coast Ports Collaborative Sustainable Construction Guidelines Friendship Agreements/MOUs The Climate Registry (TCR) Port Subgroup RAND Corporation Climate Adaptation

37 San Pedro Bay s Changing Role Transitioning from Landlord Port to Partnering Port model Deeper Collaboration is Necessary Broader Dialogue with Supply Chain Stakeholders Balancing critical environmental needs with economic imperatives
