Clean Ports Program is run by Environmental Protection Agency. From fiscal 2021 to 2025 it awarded $2.9 billion in 54 grants, about $54.4 million per award.

## Objectives

Section 60102 of the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 (or IRA) amended the Clean Air Act by inserting section 133 (42 U.S.C. 7433) to authorize the EPA’s Clean Ports Program (or Grants to Reduce Air Pollution at Ports) to award grants to purchase or install zero-emission port equipment and supporting infrastructure, serving one or more ports, and for emission reduction planning activities. Congress appropriated $3 billion for the program, $750 million of which must be spent on projects taking places at ports located in air quality areas designated pursuant to section 107 as nonattainment for an air pollutant. The EPA’s objectives for the Clean Ports Program are to: (1) reduce air pollution in near-port communities; (2) build a foundation for the port sector to make progress in reducing air pollution from operations; and (3) help ensure that meaningful stakeholder engagement and emissions reduction planning become a part of port industry standard practices.
