Illinois EPA to hold Clean Ports Program meeting in Quincy Published 10:26 am Thursday, September 3, 2026 QUINCY — The Illinois Environmental Protection Agency will host a stakeholder and community meeting next month as part of the Illinois Clean Ports Program, continuing a planning process aimed at reducing emissions at the state’s ports. The meeting, focused on the Mid-America Intermodal Authority Port District, is scheduled for Tuesday, September 22, at 6:30 p.m. It is one in a series of in-person meetings the agency is holding with stakeholders and residents of communities near Illinois ports. The Illinois Clean Ports Program is intended to support the decarbonization of the state’s ports through cleaner vehicle technologies and supporting energy infrastructure, such as charging or fueling systems for low- and zero-emission vehicles used in port operations. Decarbonization efforts like these are typically aimed at reducing greenhouse gas emissions and diesel pollution associated with truck and equipment traffic at ports, which can disproportionately affect air quality in nearby neighborhoods. Stakeholders, community members, and other interested parties are encouraged to attend and provide input as the planning process continues. Additional details and registration information are available through the Illinois Clean Ports Program.
