San Pedro Bay ports levy US$10/TEU clean truck tax April 1
Date:2022-03-28 Readers:
THE ports of Long Beach and Los Angeles on April 1 will begin collecting US$10 per laden TEU hauled by trucks as they enter or leave container terminals, reports the American Journal of Transpiration.

The Clean Truck Fund (CTF) rate was created to help fund and incentivise the changeover to cleaner trucks. It will also generate monies - up to $90 million in the first year - to accelerate the development of zero-emissions technology.

Exemptions to the CTF rate will be initially provided for containers hauled by zero-emission trucks and low-nitrogen oxide-emitting (low-NOx) trucks. For more information about the CTF rate, a joint CTF rate collection fact sheet can be found at this link.

To receive the exemption when the rate collection begins on April 1, all such trucks must be registered as low-NOx or zero emission in the Port Drayage Truck Registry and complete a one-time vehicle confirmation inspection at the Terminal Access Center, 1265 Harbour Ave, Long Beach 90813.

PortCheck, a private company, was selected by both ports to collect the CTF rate. Starting April 1, cargo owners or their agents must be registered in the PortCheck system to arrange to pay the CTF rate prior to pick up or drop-off.

Phasing out older, more polluting trucks has been key to clean air gains the San Pedro Bay ports have made since the original Clean Truck programmes were launched in 2008. Diesel emissions from trucks have been cut by as much as 97 per cent compared to 2005 levels.
