TMF at Ports of Los Angeles and Long Beach to Increase 6% 

The West Coast MTO Agreement (WCMTOA) announced that on September 1, 2024, the Traffic Mitigation Fee (TMF) at the Ports of Los Angeles and Long Beach will increase by 6%. The adjustment matches the increase in longshore wage and assessment rates recently increased in the coastwide contract between the International Longshore and Warehouse Union and the Pacific Maritime Association.

Beginning September 1, the TMF will be $37.71 per TEU (twenty-foot equivalent unit) or $75.42 for all other size containers. The TMF is charged on non-exempt containers. Containers exempt from the TMF include empty containers; import cargo or export cargo that transits the Alameda Corridor in a container and is subject to a fee imposed by the Alameda Corridor Transportation Authority; and transshipment cargo. Empty chassis and bobtail trucks are also exempt.
