Issues:Growth And Community
• Air Quality – regional issues
• Traffic – commute challenges
• Noise – neighborhoods near port
• Growth –community acceptance
• Truckers – poor turn times & service
![Page 5: PierPASS & Operations as a Solution to Freight Congestion FHWA Talking Freight Seminar June 21, 2006 Bruce Wargo President & CEO, PierPASS Inc.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062321/56649e7d5503460f94b80b24/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
Issues:Growth And Infrastructure
• Terminals – limited land– Only 9% more land available in 5-10
years
• Freeways –time & money to expand– Could be 15-20 years
• Bridges – time and money to replace– Could be 10-15 years to replace

Negative Legislative Action
+ Concerns from the Community
+ Lack of Productivity by terminals
+ Labor, trains & cargo issues of 2002
+ Labor shortages & cargo of 2004= Assembly Bill 2041 mandating night gates
(subsequently withdrawn in favor of PierPASS industry solution)

An Industry Solution
• Creation of Marine Terminal Operator Group
• Consulted with transportation stakeholders• Cost study by consultant• Creation of PierPASS
![Page 8: PierPASS & Operations as a Solution to Freight Congestion FHWA Talking Freight Seminar June 21, 2006 Bruce Wargo President & CEO, PierPASS Inc.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062321/56649e7d5503460f94b80b24/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
PierPASSOffPeak Hours Program
1. Provides a program for cargo owners & truckers to work evenings and weekends
2. Provides the funding for off peak hours operations through a Traffic Mitigation Fee (TMF)
3. Shifts significant amounts of cargo movements to off peak hours reducing day time traffic and congestion
![Page 9: PierPASS & Operations as a Solution to Freight Congestion FHWA Talking Freight Seminar June 21, 2006 Bruce Wargo President & CEO, PierPASS Inc.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062321/56649e7d5503460f94b80b24/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
How Does It Work?
• All laden international cargo is assessed a Traffic Mitigation Fee if it moves during Peak Hours of Monday-Friday 3 AM-6 PM
• TMF currently set at $50/20’ & $100/40’ • These funds go to pay for the extra OffPeak
PierPASS labor costs approx $160-$180M annually

Operational Benefits of the OffPeak Program
• Reduction of congestion at port– Provides more hours of operation
• Reduction of congestion on the freeway– Spreads traffic out beyond commute hours
• Better utilization of port assets– Adds velocity to containers and higher use of terminal equipment
• Better turn times for truck drivers– More trips in work shift = more $$$ for drivers

Environmental Benefits of the OffPeak Program
• Reducing Freeway Gridlock Reduces Air Pollution– PierPASS is reducing gridlock on the roads by spreading
traffic over days and nights
• Reducing a Truck’s Idle Time Reduces Air Pollution– PierPASS is reducing idle time at the terminal gates by
reducing the number of trucks queued up to enter or leave across days and nights
