The Green Operator program is pleased to announce three significant changes:
Rebate Incentive – Effective immediately, the rebate incentive amount has been
increased to 50% of the cost of the new truck, up to a maximum of $35,000/truck
with the following caveat:
• The new truck must have an Engine Model Year (EMY) of 2017 or newer to
be eligible for the maximum rebate of $35,000/truck.
• If the newer truck has an EMY of 2014, 2015 or 2016, the maximum rebate
amount remains $30,000/truck.
Truck Eligibility – Trucks eligible for replacement have been expanded as follows:
• Previously, current trucks eligible for replacement had to have an EMY of
2006 or older.
• Now, current trucks eligible for replacement can have an EMY of 2009 or
older, however the new replacement truck must have an Engine Model Year
of 2017 or newer to qualify for the new maximum incentive amount of
$35,000/truck.
• Further, current trucks with an EMY of 2010 or newer can be replaced if the
newer truck has an EMY of 2021 or newer.
New Truck Ownership
• The program now requires that new trucks service Port of Virginia facilities
for two (2) years after being purchased.

The Green Operator program is pleased to announce two changes to program operations.
Applicant Eligibility – Changes truck operational verification from requiring a video of the engine tag/serial number to only require submissions of a still engine photo showing the engine tag/serial number. Please note we still need a video showing the truck moving forward and backward and showing the truck’s VIN number.
Rebate Request Submission – Program administrators will start processing the rebate request while waiting for the title documentation from the participant. We expect this change could reduce the time from rebate request submission to rebate check issuance by about 4 weeks.
