Freight Partnership V Workshop July 2013

1. Urban Freight Breakout GroupCalifornia’s Trade Corridors Improvement Fund and Economic Development Freight Partnership V Workshop July 2013

2. Charge to Group • Hear short case studies on urban freight: successes, challenges, needs • Christina Casgar, SANDAG • Ted Dahlberg, DVRPP • Paul Truban, NJDOT • Work on three table top discussion questions and report out

3. California’s Trade Corridors Improvement Fund (TCIF) • Passage of Proposition 1B by California voters in November 2006 included an unprecedented $2 Billion dedicated to freight infrastructure projects • Proposition 1B was the culmination of years of work by MPOs, COGs, local agencies, and various transportation stakeholders

4. TCIF: Responding to Local Impacts in Concentrated Freight Corridors • Road to TCIF began at the local level (MPOs) • Concentrated freight in urban areas impacts freeways, air quality, and livability of communities in and around California trade corridors • From CTC’s perspective, major metropolitan areas can be viewed as concentrated supply chain hubs and their distribution arteries as trade corridors

5. TCIF: Responding to Local Impacts in Concentrated Freight Corridors • Impacts at hubs and corridors spurred action by the MPOs and other transportation stakeholders • MPOs developed regional Goods Movement Action Plans • Southern California Association of Governments (SCAG) - Los Angeles/Inland Empire Corridor • Metropolitan Transportation Commission (MTC) -Bay Area Corridor • San Diego Association of Governments (SANDAG) – Border Corridor

6. TCIF: Statewide Response to Trade Corridor Improvements • State Goods Movement Action Plan • Jointly developed by Bureau of Transportation & Housing and California EPA • Developed through a consensus building process using some supply chain data • Focused on a variety of strategies and infrastructure projects necessary to improve goods movement & air quality

7. TCIF: Statewide Response to Trade Corridor Improvements • CTC established TCIF Work Groups to develop policy framework for the implementation of the TCIF and long-term strategies for goods movement investments • Work Groups addressed key policy issues including geographic balance, mobility, match, air quality requirements, and the roles of public and private partners

8. TCIF: A “Supply Chain” Corridor Based Program • CTC issued TCIF Guidelines that established a corridor based program using supply chain data points • Bay Area Corridor • Central Valley Corridor • Los Angeles/Inland Empire Corridor • San Diego/Border Corridor

9. Priority Regions and Corridors in California • Focus infrastructure improvements along federally designated “Trade Corridors of National Significance” or high volume freight corridors • These trade corridors were determined by considering several public sector supply chain metrics

10. TCIF Public Sector “Supply Chain” Metrics • Customs Value • Maritime TEUs • POE tonnage • Logistics Jobs • Hours Delay • Truck VMT • AADT • Emissions • Population

11. TCIF: Balancing Public and Private Goals • TCIF Guidelines reflected the intent of the CTC to establish an ongoing goods movement program • TCIF Guidelines also reflected the CTC’s desire to provide freight infrastructure improvements and air quality benefits • TCIF “supply chain” metrics include volume, throughput, etc. and externalities

12. TCIF: Balancing Public and Private Goals • CTC adopted TCIF Program in April 2008. • Included $2 billion authorized by Proposition 1B, $500 State Highway Account (SHOPP) funds, and approximately $600 million of over programming • TCIF Program was complemented by $1 billion goods movement emissions reduction program • 79 projects programmed at $3.09 billion • Total value is nearly $8.5 billion

13. Representative Projects • Port of Long Beach, Gerald Desmond Bridge • Port of Oakland, Outer Harbor Intermodal Terminal OHIT • SANDAG/Caltrans, Otay Mesa East Land Port of Entry

14. Outcomes • Funding makes things happen! • Top down / bottoms up planning and coordination works • Consensus, equity, and externality balancing was difficult • Balance of local benefit projects and network benefit projects is a challenge • CA Funding – while laudable, huge investment needs remain in California

15. Table Top Discussion Questions • Catalogue and describe urban freight successes at your table • Catalogue and describe urban freight challenges or less than successful issues/projects • Provide concrete suggestions for successful freight partnering – be as specific as possible – issue followed by who best to manage
