A new fee has been added at the Ports of Long Beach and Los Angeles to improve traffic flow and air quality. The fee is anticipated to be $15 per loaded TEU beginning January 1, 2009.
The proposed fee will be assessed on every loaded 20-foot equivalent (TEU) cargo container entering or leaving any terminal by truck or train beginning January 1, 2009. The amount will fluctuate based on the current funding needs of approved projects. It is anticipated that the charge would be $15 per loaded TEU for seven years, but could vary depending on availability of public funds and timing of environmental approvals. … The fee is in addition to one enacted in December to help fund the ports’ Clean Trucks Program.
