The Supreme Court overturned part of the anti-smog program at the Port of Los Angeles today.

The port had attempted to restrict the types of trucks that can haul goods in and out of its terminals, but justices voted unanimously Thursday to strike down part of the port's Clean Trucks Program.

KPCC's Molly Peterson joins the show to talk about what this decision means for the Port and the city.
