PIER PASS & CLEAN TRUCK FEE 

PierPASS is a not-for-profit company created by marine terminal operators at the ports of Los Angeles and Long Beach in 2005 to address multi-terminal issues such as congestion, security and air quality. Under the program, all international container terminals in the two ports established additional shifts per week. PortCheck provides rate collection services for the ports of Los Angeles and Long Beach's Clean Truck Program. PortCheck collects the Clean Truck Fund Rate.

LONG BEACH, Calif., July 1, 2025 – The West Coast MTO Agreement (WCMTOA) today announced that on August 1, 2025, the Traffic Mitigation Fee (TMF) at the Ports of Los Angeles and Long Beach will increase by 2.84%. The adjustment matches the increase in longshore wage and assessment rates recently increased in the coastwide contract between the International Longshore and Warehouse Union and the Pacific Maritime Association. Beginning August 1, 2025, the TMF will be $38.78 per TEU (twenty-foot equivalent unit) and $77.56 for all other size containers. The TMF is charged on non-exempt containers. Containers exempt from the TMF include empty containers; import cargo or export cargo that transits the Alameda Corridor in a container and is subject to a fee imposed by the Alameda Corridor Transportation Authority; and transshipment cargo. Empty chassis and bobtail trucks are also exempt.

​

As of 2026, the Ports of Los Angeles and Long Beach continue to enforce the Clean Truck Fund (CTF) Rate, charging $10 per twenty-foot equivalent unit (TEU) or $20 per FEU on loaded containers to fund the transition to zero-emission drayage, distinct from the separate PierPass Traffic Mitigation Fee. Zero-emission trucks are exempt.
