About the Truck Replacement Program

The Port Authority of New York and New Jersey Regional Truck Replacement Program aims to replace 636 trucks with engines Model Year 1993 and older port drayage trucks with engines Model Year 2004 and newer vehicles. The purpose of the Program is to greatly reduce diesel emissions from older trucks and improve local and regional air quality. With funding assistance through the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA) – National Clean Diesel Funding Assistance Program, the United States Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA) is providing up to $7 million dollars to the Port Authority to be used toward grants for the purchase of newer and cleaner vehicles. The Port Authority will utilize $21 million of its operating funds as a federal match and which will be used to fund a low finance loan program to these truck owners. ACCION USA will be managing the low finance loan program and will facilitate loans with an interest rate of 5.25 percent over a five-year period. This Program will provide licensed motor carriers and independent owner operators servicing the Port of New York and New Jersey (PONYNJ) marine terminals the opportunity to apply for grants and acquire financing to replace their older, drayage trucks with cleaner models. Less frequent callers, as well as owners of newer model trucks from the pool, will not qualify for this financial assistance.

About the Truck Replacement Program Center

The Truck Replacement Program Center will be located at 1080 McLester Street in Elizabeth, New Jersey, at the Elizabeth PA Marine Terminal, and will be open weekdays from approximately 9am to 5pm, as well as some weekends for special events. It will serve as a “one stop shop” for truck owners who frequent the marine terminals to visit and obtain information about the Truck Replacement Program, submit their applications for grants and loans, and finalize any additional paperwork before receiving their newer cleaner truck. The Center will be staffed by Truck Replacement Center Advisors who will assist these truck owners with all of their questions, help them gather the necessary information, and assist them in the grant application processes. The Truck Replacement Program Center will be the focal point of the implementation of the Port Authority’s Regional Truck Replacement Program.
