The transition to zero-emission drayage vehicles serving ports in the Puget Sound region is a key step to improve air quality, reduce greenhouse gas emissions, and reduce environmental health disparities in communities living near port terminals and along major freight corridors. The Puget Sound Zero-Emission Truck Collaborative developed the Decarbonizing Drayage Roadmap to help chart a just and equitable path through the many opportunities and challenges created by the transition to zero-emission drayage.
The Decarbonizing Drayage Roadmap was developed during the first phase of the Collaborative (Collaborative 1.0). Materials from this phase are available here.
The Puget Sound Zero-Emission Truck Collaborative brings together public agencies, ports, utilities, industry, and community organizations to support the transition to zero-emission drayage trucks in the Puget Sound region. During its first phase, the Collaborative developed the Decarbonizing Drayage Roadmap, which outlines shared priorities and recommended actions. The current phase of work (Collaborative 2.0) is focused on implementation, supporting partners in advancing priority actions, coordinating across efforts, and accelerating progress toward the deployment of zero-emission drayage trucks and supporting infrastructure in the region.
During this meeting, Collaborative members will discuss the transition to “Collaborative 2.0,” including the Collaborative’s updated focus, approach, charter, and membership. Participants will then hear updates on recent zero-emission drayage implementation efforts, including the launch of Washington’s WAZIP incentive program, drayage driver support initiatives, ZEV truck and charging deployments at Sea-Tac, driver and fleet perspectives, and state policy updates. Lastly, Collaborative members will review and discuss key implementation priorities identified through pre-meeting interviews to help inform the next phase of the Collaborative’s work.
