What is WCMTOA?

WCMTOA is the West Coast MTO Agreement, a discussion agreement filed with the Federal Maritime Commission (FMC) in 2004.  WCMTOA comprises the twelve (12) container terminals in the Ports of Los Angeles and Long Beach.

Why was WCMTOA formed?

Cargo growth in the early 2000s through the Ports of Los Angeles and Long Beach created congestion on the roadways and freeways surrounding the ports. To address the congestion issues together, WCMTOA implemented the OffPeak program.  The OffPeak program mitigates trucks calling at the terminals between the peak and offpeak shifts.

What is the relationship between WCMTOA and PierPASS?

WCMTOA established PierPASS Inc. to manage its OffPeak program. For more information, see www.pierpass.org.
