In 2006 the Board of Harbor Commissioners for Los Angeles, California adopted an environmental protection plan that included an effort called Clean Truck Program (CTP).[1] The stated goal of the program is to "reduce negative impacts that port [trucking] inflicts on the local community."[2] The implementation of this program began in 2007 and required trucking companies to comply with various requirements relating to maintenance of trucks, employment of drivers, and trucking operations.[3] The American Trucking Associations believed some of the regulations were in violation of the Federal Aviation Administration Authorization Act of 1994 (FAAAA) and filed suit.[4] Litigation eventually made its way up to the Supreme Court of the United States,[5] where the Court held that two of the requirements of the CTP were in violation of the FAAAA.[6]
