PierPASS
PierPASS is a not-for-profit company created by the West Coast MTO Agreement (WCMTOA) member container terminal operators at the Port of Los Angeles and Port of Long Beach to manage its OffPeak program. In 2005, the OffPeak program was implemented to reduce cargo-related congestion on local streets and highways around the Los Angeles and Long Beach ports. OffPeak established regular night and Saturday work shifts to handle trucks delivering and picking up containers at the 12 container terminals in the two adjacent ports.
The OffPeak program nearly doubled the potential capacity of the ports without new infrastructure construction on the freeways accessing the ports. The offpeak shifts are funded with a Traffic Mitigation Fee (TMF) required for most cargo movement at the two ports.
