All Port of Tacoma staff have received their cards with total TWIC enrolments in the Tacoma area up to 12,170.
The port puts the smooth transition down to a comprehensive 15-month “outreach program” to vendors, labour, transportation providers and port staff to raise awareness of the new requirement. Port staff, for example, met with companies and worker groups, distributed fliers to truckers and vendors, set up electronic road signage, detailed new requirements on the port website, and much more.
