With the launch of the Clean Trucks Program on October 1st, 2008, the Ports of Long Beach is providing "temporary access permits" to out-of-state and infrequent truckers operating for Licensed Motor Carriers (LMC) that do not have a port concession to allow entry into the ports' marine terminals.
To obtain a Temporary Access Permit, click here or http://174.36.132.195/scripts/cgiip.exe/WService=ctppass/intro.p . The LMC will be required to pay the $100 temporary access fee with a major credit card (Visa, Mastercard and American Express).
Separate passes must be obtained for access to Port of Long Beach and Port of Los Angeles terminals. The temporary permit can be used throughout the month of October, or until the electronic gate access system to be used by the terminals is fully operational.
If there is a problem, LMCs can call (866)721-5686 or direct the driver to the Temporary Access Center at the intersection of Pier S Avenue and New Dock Street on Terminal Island. A second Temporary Access Center is located at the former Horizon Lines facility, 669 Harbor Plaza, Long Beach.
The Temporary Access Center staff will be available from 8 a.m. to 10 p.m. Monday through Thursday, 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Friday and 8 a.m. to noon on Saturdays. Staff at the Temporary Access Center will not accept payment for Temporary Access Permits – registration and fee payment can only be made through the Temporary Access Permit website.

Help keep the cargo moving! The Port urge the trucking industry to sign up for concessions so there is no disruption to your business on and after October 1st.
