The Alameda Corridor Surcharge, or ACS, is a freight surcharge connected to cargo moving through the rail corridor serving the Ports of Los Angeles and Long Beach. The Alameda Corridor is a major rail route that links the ports with inland rail networks while reducing truck and rail congestion in urban areas. Carriers or logistics providers may pass this surcharge to shippers to recover infrastructure, rail access, operating, or financing costs associated with using the corridor.
All intermodal rail shipments moving through the San Pedro Bay port complex are subject to the ACS.
