What is the impact of OffPeak Program on road congestion?
Area commuters have reported a noticeable decrease in traffic congestion on roads near the port. As of mid-October 2005, northbound truck traffic on Interstate 710 during peak hours had dropped an estimated 24 percent since the introduction of OffPeak, according to a study by the Alameda Corridor Transportation Authority (ACTA). On a typical day, more than 10,000 trucks use the new OffPeak shifts enough to stretch from Long Beach to San Diego if lined up end-to-end.
