State Funds $3 Billion for Clean Ports Program, Benefitting Taxpayers

Applications are now open for the Clean Ports Program, offering $3 billion in funding to support zero-emissions operations in America’s ports. This initiative aims to address equipment and infrastructure needs that reduce mobile source emissions at U.S. ports, as highlighted by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency.

EPA Administrator Michael Regan, in collaboration with Gov. Roy Cooper, announced the availability of funding in Wilmington, N.C. The initiative aligns with President Biden’s vision of promoting economic growth while leading in the development of globally competitive sustainable solutions.
