Port of Long Beach Repeals Long-Delayed Infrastructure Cargo Fee

The Port of Long Beach on Nov. 18 repealed its long-delayed Infrastructure Cargo Fee, in a unanimous vote of the Long Beach Harbor Commissioners. The fee, put in place in 2008 but delayed ever since, would have been imposed on each cargo container to help fund road and rail improvements around the Ports of Los Angeles and Long Beach. The Port of Los Angeles also never collected the fee and also voted to repeal it in September.
