How much traffic does the OffPeak program shift out of peak daytime hours?
• During 2007 and most of 2008 – prior to the economic downturn – OffPeak shifts handled an average of 68,000 truck trips in a typical week, or about 40 percent of all container moves at the two ports on days with both peak and OffPeak shifts. If the OffPeak shifts were to be eliminated, most of these trips would take place in peak daytime traffic, causing heavy congestion and thus increasing air pollution. In the first quarter of 2009, OffPeak shifts handled an average of 54,000 trucks in a typical week. • As of December 2008, more than 11.46 million truck trips have been diverted out of peak daytime hours since the start of the program in July 2005.
