The Port of Tacoma announced a $2.6 million grant from Washington State Department of Transportation (WSDOT) to deploy electric forklifts and charging infrastructure at the East Blair One Terminal. The project, supported by Washington's Climate Commitment Act, aims to replace high-polluting diesel equipment and improve air quality. The project is expected to be completed by 2028.
The notice, published July 30, 2026, states the grant is part of the Northwest Seaport Alliance's initiative. The Port said the project will remove the most-used diesel equipment, reducing climate emissions. The grant was awarded under the Climate Commitment Act, which funds climate-related projects across Washington.
