Los Angeles/Long Beach Ports to Begin Collecting Clean Trucks Tariff on October 1, 2008

September 11, 2008

On October 1, 2008, the Port of Los Angeles and the Port of Long Beach will begin implementing the ports' Clean Trucks Tariff (CTT). This will require all Marine Terminal Operators (MTOs) to collect a Clean Trucks Fee (CTF) of $35 per loaded TEU on containers that move through the terminals (cargo moved via on-dock rail not included). This fee will be used to help the ports pay for the emission reduction programs that they are implementing in order to achieve their goal of reducing air pollution from operations at the ports.
