Truck Replacement Program

Our Port

GPA’s commitment to sustainable development enables it to expand operations in the most environmentally and socially responsible manner possible. To achieve growth without sacrificing the quality of the environment for future generations. Georgia Ports has implemented a truck replacement program by providing grant funding to qualified drayage truck owners to purchase a newer, more fuel-efficient truck. This program aims to reduce truck emissions by phasing our older trucks serving the Chatham County terminals. These funds are made available through the U.S. EPA Diesel Emissions Reduction Act.

Requirements for pre-qualification

Trade in your operational 2011 and older non-DEF equipment truck.

Demonstrate a history of making at least 150 freight pick-ups or drop-offs within an eight-mile radius of the Georgia Port Authority Garden City Terminal in Chatham County during the past 12 months.
