LA Port okays day-pass system
LOS ANGELES — The Port of Los Angeles Harbor Commission unanimously approved a permanent day-pass system that will allow truckers not part of the Clean Trucks Program to make two port visits a month.
It was a victory for the Owner-Operator Independent Drivers Association (OOIDA), which has been in discussions with port officials for a year.
Trucks that have not taken part in the "lengthy and expensive process" of becoming port concessionaires for the program, can now purchase up to 24 day-passes per year, at a cost of $30 per pass, reports OOIDA.
The port is working to make day-pass purchases available online to make the process smoother when long-haul drivers arrive at the port gates.
The twin Port of Long Beach is considering a similar measure, says OOIDA.
