The Northwest Ports Clean Air Strategy 2013 Update is a collaborative environmental initiative developed by the Port of Seattle, Port of Tacoma, and Port Metro Vancouver to reduce air pollution from port-related activities such as ocean-going vessels, cargo-handling equipment, trucks, and locomotives. The strategy sets emission-reduction goals for diesel particulate matter and greenhouse gases by 2015 and 2020, with performance targets across six sectors. Partner agencies including the EPA, Environment Canada, and the Washington State Department of Ecology contributed to the plan.Open full document
