摘要：	This study develops an empirical framework for estimating a peak-period truck toll designed to efficiently balance peak and off-peak truck traffic on the highway system surrounding the San Pedro Bay port complex and at its terminal gates. Like the current Off-Peak program's Traffic Mitigation Fee (TMF), this congestion-pricing mechanism operates under the constraints that a toll cannot be assessed during off-peak gate hours, and that the toll is uniform across the peak period. Unlike the TMF, however, the toll applies to all truck trips rather than only to limited class of gate moves. The distinction is drawn because the toll is aimed at correcting truck-generated congestion externalities, and all port-bound truck trips generate congestion externalities regardless of purpose. Methods for obtaining these cost estimates area also developed in this study and applied to data on highway and terminal-gate traffic conditions. / NOTE: Final rept. / Supplementary Notes: Prepared in cooperation with California State Univ., Long Beach.
