Pier Pass Announces TMF Increase
By Splatty • Mar 31st, 2006 • Category: Seafreight
Pier Pass, which recently announced an increase of the Traffic Mitigation Fee effective April 3rd, has just extended the deadline to April 24, 2006. The extension was created in order to “provide an additional three weeks for members of the goods movement industry to adjust their rate structures.”
The new TMF rate for container traffic using marine terminals day gates will be $50 per TEU and $100 per FEU. This represents a $10 per TEU increase.
PierPASS is a not-for-profit organization created by marine terminal operators to reduce congestion and improve air quality in and around the Ports of Los Angeles and Long Beach.
OffPeak is the off-peak hours program created by PierPASS. OffPeak provides an incentive for cargo owners to move cargo at night and on weekends, in order to reduce truck traffic and pollution during peak daytime traffic hours and to alleviate port congestion.
