Fees* USA - Harbor commissions consider container fee
Fee would help pay to replace two bridges and fund air quality projects
Long Beach,CA,USA -The Long Beach Press-Telegram, by Art Marroquin -10 Jan 2008: -- The Los Angeles and Long Beach harbor commissions are scheduled Monday to consider a fee that's expected to raise $1.4 billion for bridge, railway and road improvements at the twin port complex... The proposal calls for placing a $15 charge on all loaded 20-foot cargo containers entering or leaving the ports by truck or train beginning Jan. 1, 2009, port officials announced Thursday... The proposed infrastructure fee comes on the heels of another fee approved last month by the Los Angeles and Long Beach harbor commissions, which calls for raising $1.6 billion over the next five years to replace or retrofit diesel-spewing big rigs with cleaner-burning trucks... The Clean Trucks Program fee calls for placing a $35 fee on all loaded 20-foot containers entering or leaving the ports on short-haul drayage trucks beginning June 1... The new port fees join an existing fee of $100 on every 40-foot container adopted in 2005 to reduce road congestion...
