Harbor commissions in Southern California have approved of a Clean Truck Fund rate that will be applied to certain diesel-powered trucks.
On Monday, March 9, the ports of Los Angeles and Long Beach Harbor Commissions approved a Clean Truck Fund rate of $10 and $20. The Long Beach Harbor Commission passed the proposal with a 3-2 vote, while the Los Angeles Harbor Commission approved it unanimously during a special joint meeting.
Cargo coming out of the two ports will be hit with a fee of $10 per loaded 20-foot equivalent unit or $20 per loaded 40-foot equivalent unit. The fee will be charged to the “beneficial cargo owner” for loaded containers hauled by a truck.
Commissioners also voted to eliminate language regarding certain exemptions. Zero-emission trucks will be exempt from the Clean Truck Fund rate. However, language exempting low-NOx or near-zero emission trucks was waived.

The Clean Truck Fund will charge a fee for containers at the ports of Los Angeles and Long Beach, but environment groups are unhappy about the low rate.
