Pier Pass Fee

The Pier Pass traffic mitigation fee is a charge imposed when a shipment is unloaded at the Port of Los Angeles/Long Beach during peak hours. It is implemented as part of the port’s strategy to alleviate traffic congestion in the region by incentivizing pickups during off-peak hours. The fee aims to encourage importers and trucking companies to utilize the port facilities during less congested times, such as nights and weekends. The revenue generated from the Pier Pass fee is used to support the extended operation of terminal gates during off-peak hours and to invest in infrastructure improvements. This fee system helps optimize port operations, reduce truck wait times, and enhance overall efficiency in cargo movement.
