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.

The Virginia Green Operator program is a public-private, voluntary program that aims to reduce the amount of air pollution from drayage trucks in the state of Virginia. For more information, call the Operator Hotline at 804-482-1790 today.
The Green Operator program has replaced over 400 trucks with older engine model years with 2007 and newer trucks that have cleaner EPA approved engine technologies. This has been a great success. For more information on replacement assistance up to $30,000, visit our Replacements page.
The Port of Virginia now offers decals for new or clean trucks that meet 2010 EPA standards that were not purchased or retrofitted under the Green Operator Program. Visit our Request for Decal page or call the Green Operator Hotline: 804-482-1790.
