This document provides an overview of freight and goods movement issues facing California, including significant infrastructure shortfalls due to increases in trade volumes. It discusses California's strategic planning approach to address these challenges through focused visioning, innovative funding, and collaborative partnerships. Local planners are seen as playing a key role through land use decisions and prioritizing goods movement needs in regional transportation plans.
The document discusses plans to transform coastal shipping in the United States through the creation of American Feeder Lines (AFL). It notes that currently less than 1% of US trade moves by coastal shipping, unlike in Asia and Europe where feeder ships connect ports. The AFL aims to apply this feeder ship model to the US by establishing routes between US ports to link them efficiently and reduce strain on roads and rails. This could help address weaknesses like an aging infrastructure network that struggles to handle rising cargo volumes as global trade increases.
03 Joe Nemeth Canadian Pulp Industry Transformation Or ExtinctionFilip Masopust
The 2009 Hawkins Wright Symposium discussed the challenges facing the Canadian pulp industry and whether it would transform or become extinct. The past saw unacceptable returns for pulp companies. Currently, factors like the housing market crash, changing fiber supply due to pine beetle infestation, and competing biomass demand present challenges. However, new green energy regulations in Canada and the US provide opportunities for transformation through investments in renewable energy and efficiency. The future of the industry may depend on whether companies can successfully transform operations through these green energy programs.
The document discusses how to better integrate goods movement considerations into complete streets planning. It argues that complete streets guidelines often overlook goods movement needs. To harmonize the two, the presentation recommends that planners support rather than eliminate goods movement, engage goods movement operators to understand their needs, and think beyond just street design to find innovative solutions. A number of case studies from cities around the world illustrate how municipalities have successfully incorporated goods movement needs into complete streets plans. The presentation concludes that properly accommodating goods movement is important for efficiency, safety, economic vitality and quality of life.
Transportation Concept,Transportation Systems and Transportation in TurkeyEge Bicen
Logistics involves determining requirements, acquiring them, distributing them, and maintaining them operationally. Historically, logistics systems were unplanned in the 1950s-60s but became more professionalized in the 1980s with cost increases. Today, transportation and logistics make up 8-12% of Turkey's GDP, with the industry tripling since 2002. Turkey lies between Europe and Asia, serving as a bridge, and has extensive road, rail, air, sea, and multi-modal transportation networks to facilitate domestic and international freight and passenger movement.
This document summarizes case studies of transformative change in eight cities: Medellín, Surat, London, Seoul, Mexico City, Amsterdam, Kolkata, and Barcelona. It describes the challenges each city faced such as crime, pollution, congestion, and sprawl. It then outlines the solutions and policies implemented in each city to address these issues, including improved public transit systems, urban planning reforms, governance changes, and initiatives to promote walking, cycling and public health. The document argues that transformative change in cities is possible through political will, coalition building, and integrated solutions across sectors.
Transportation ppt of suppy chain managementVandna Dhiman
Transportation refers to the movement of products from one location to another along the supply chain and is important because products are rarely produced and consumed in the same place. There are various modes of transportation including air, water, surface, intermodal, and package carriers which use combinations of air, truck and rail to transport goods. The most suitable mode depends on factors like the type of goods, distance traveled, cost considerations, and time sensitivity.
Peculiarities of transportation by the Mississippi riverEugene Tkachenko
The document discusses the US Inland Waterway System, specifically focusing on the Mississippi River. It notes that the Mississippi River runs over 2,300 miles from Minnesota to the Gulf of Mexico and is the 4th longest river in the world. When combined with its tributaries, the inland waterway system covers over 12,000 miles across 38 US states. Over 500 million tons of cargo are transported annually on this system. The Army Corps of Engineers is responsible for maintenance and modernization of the locks, channels, and infrastructure. Barges are highly efficient for moving bulk commodities like grain, coal, petroleum, and steel over long distances.
The US Army Corps of Engineers Louisville District provides significant economic benefits through its navigation, flood risk management, and construction projects. In FY 2009, these projects supported over 35,000 jobs and generated $7.2 billion in economic output nationally. Navigation projects alone provided $2.8 billion in economic benefits while preventing over $600 million in flood damages. Major ongoing projects like the Olmsted Locks and Dam will boost these benefits further in coming years.

Who Controls the Flow? Sharing Flow Fairly at the Confluence of Regional Wate...CPWF Mekong
This document discusses water and energy governance in the Mekong River Basin. It presents scenarios for dam development through 2030 that would expand irrigation by 1.6 million hectares but negatively impact 5 environmental hotspots and affect 1.4 million people. It also examines how the government, market, and people control water flows. The market is driving electricity demand growth and dam construction for hydropower. While floods annually cost $60-70 million, their economic benefits of $8-10 billion far outweigh the costs, largely accruing to the people of the basin. Achieving a fair sharing of these resources across stakeholders is challenging without proper regional coordination and planning.
Global Partners LTD is proposing the development of a logistics hub in Toledo, Ohio to capitalize on its strategic location near major highways and rail lines. The hub would consolidate shipping containers arriving by ship and rail for more efficient distribution throughout the Midwest region by truck and potential short sea shipping on the Great Lakes. Developing an inland port and intermodal facilities in Toledo could streamline supply chains for manufacturers and reduce transportation costs by shortening travel distances from ports. The logistics hub aims to strengthen Toledo and Northwest Ohio's position in global trade and attract more industrial and logistics businesses to the region.
The Port of Baltimore generates significant economic benefits for Maryland through the jobs and revenues it creates. It handles a diverse mix of cargo including containers, rolls on/rolls off cargo, autos, and bulk commodities. It has the capabilities to service very large ships and ranks highly in productivity compared to other ports. However, the container shipping industry is consolidating into large alliances and vessels, requiring ports to invest in deeper berths and larger cranes to remain competitive. The Port of Baltimore is pursuing improvements and promoting its strengths like capacity and efficiency to attract more cargo amidst challenges at other East Coast ports.

Fast Facts in Five: The Maritime IndustryCIT Group
Made up of ships, ports and supporting infrastructure, the U.S. maritime transportation system serves as the primary means for transporting goods
internationally, moving close to two billion tons of freight in and out of our nation's ports annually. Here are five facts about the maritime industry you may not know.
This document discusses the state of the Port of Miami in 1997. It notes that international trade was the number one industry in Miami, providing 50,000 jobs and $7.1 billion in economic impact. Cargo volumes were increasing and surpassing national averages. The port was establishing itself as a hemispheric trade hub, with the majority of its cargo coming from South and Central America. It was also working to expand infrastructure to accommodate larger ships and increasing volumes. The cruise industry was also growing, with two of the three major cruise lines based in Miami. Plans were outlined to redevelop midtown Miami around a performing arts center, world trade center, maritime park, and sports arena to generate over 48,000 jobs and $
The document summarizes the Ports-to-Plains trade corridor, which includes four federally designated highway routes connecting ports and borders in Texas, New Mexico, Colorado, Wyoming, South Dakota, North Dakota and Montana. It discusses the purpose of the corridor in facilitating trade, energy security, and food security across the region. Specifically, it provides trade data showing that Colorado's top domestic trade partners that could benefit from the corridor are Texas, New Mexico, and Nebraska, and that Colorado's trade with Mexico through ports on the corridor has grown in recent years.
The expansion of the Panama Canal is scheduled for completion in mid-2016. This will allow larger methanol tankers to pass through the canal, changing global methanol trade routes. The expanded canal can accommodate vessels carrying up to 66,000 metric tons of methanol, compared to the current maximum of 40,000 metric tons. This is likely to significantly reduce transit times and costs between the US Gulf and Asian markets like China. China is a major importer of methanol and its internal distribution network and developing ports will play a key role in handling increased methanol shipments through the expanded Panama Canal. Geopolitical events, commodity price fluctuations, new regulations and plant capacities will all impact the future methanol market.
The document discusses Utah Department of Transportation's (UDOT) program update and projects. It provides details on 186 construction projects totaling $2.49 billion currently under construction. Highlighted projects include the Mountain View Corridor, I-15 Core, and Southern Corridor. UDOT faces challenges of maintaining aging infrastructure while demand grows faster than available funding. Copper wire theft and maintaining equipment are also issues. UDOT's employees are its most valuable resource for addressing transportation needs.
The document provides an overview of Iowa Northern Railway (IANR). It details that IANR was formed in 1984 and operates 195 route miles in northeast Iowa. It connects to the larger North American rail system independently. IANR has experienced annual growth of 18% between 2003-2011. The company focuses on serving customers and the community by facilitating growth. It handles a variety of commodities like grain, ethanol and wind components. IANR has invested over $100 million in infrastructure upgrades and expansion projects to increase capacity.

This document discusses logistics trends and prospects in the Caribbean region. It finds that logistics costs are high in the Caribbean, representing a large percentage of firm sales and household budgets. Several factors contribute to this, including the small size of domestic markets, lack of scale economies, and high transport costs. The document also examines port infrastructure and connectivity in the region. It notes that the expansion of the Panama Canal may increase transshipment traffic through Caribbean ports but it is unclear if this will help reduce overall logistics costs across the region. It argues that logistics bottlenecks will need to be addressed for the full benefits of the canal expansion to be realized.

The Panama Canal Expansion: Potential Impact on Logistic and Supply Chains ::...cgrowth
The document discusses the expansion of the Panama Canal and its potential impacts. It provides statistics showing that the Canal is a vital shipping route used by many countries, especially the US. The expansion, which includes new locks and deeper channels, will allow the Canal to accommodate much larger post-Panamax ships. This is expected to significantly impact global trade and supply chains by improving shipping efficiencies between Asia, North America, and South America. The expanded Canal could attract new shipping routes for commodities like oil and liquefied natural gas. Ports, logistics hubs, and countries near the Canal may experience economic benefits from these changes to global trade patterns.

2. Introduction
n California is facing a significant infrastructure
shortfall.
l Today, I will be sharing information about
California’s approach as we address current and
future impacts of dramatic increases in trade to
and through the state.
l It is about focused planning, a State vision,
innovative financial approaches, and collaborative
partnerships. Planners—such as yourselves—are
uniquely positioned to play a key role.
3. So Who Cares About Freight?
Very, Very Few People!
n Today’s freight issues are approaching
crisis levels
n Congestion is driving up prices, but
affects each commodity differently
n Other issues are much more visible and
more urgent to the public – especially
urban areas
n Using great marketing and facilitating
skills in unison may be the key to
advancing a critical freight agenda
6. What Do We Need?
Private Sector Leadership
Political Leadership
Federal Involvement and Support
1. Promote pollution reductions from locomotives, ocean
going vessels and other goods movement sources
2. Planning/Land use decisions that do not induce negative
impacts
3. Tax Credits and Federal assistance for Public/Private

11. The Recipe
• Federal policy supports global trade
• Export manufacturing jobs to overseas sources of
cheap labor
• Import manufactured goods from overseas
• Price of imported goods fails to internalize
transportation, environmental and social costs

22. The California Story
n California has 11 public ports, three megaports (Los
Angeles, Long Beach and Oakland), and eight
smaller, niche ports (Humboldt, San Francisco,
Redwood City, Richmond, Hueneme, San Diego,
Stockton, and Sacramento).
n California is facing a significant goods movement
transportation infrastructure shortfall, as
international and domestic freight/trade volumes
continue to increase.
n The good news is California is strategically
addressing this issue, through various innovative
approaches.
23. Mobility Demands in California
n 280 Billion Vehicle-Miles-Traveled (VMT) each
year, and growing
n State Highway System: 52,000 lane-miles
l 10% of the roadways in California
l Carries 60% of the VMT
l It is the Lifeline of our economy
n 560,000 hours of delay on avg. each day
n 30% of this delay is caused by incidents
n Total Cost: more than $21 Billion per year
24. Emerging Freight Themes
n Shift of truck-intensive uses
(e.g. warehousing, distribution
facilities) to Inland Ports
l Impacts on freeways – primary
access to the interstate system
l Available rail capacity for short
haul options
n Air cargo is fastest growing
freight mode
l Air cargo market in CA – critical to
regional high tech and perishable
food industries

32. GOODS MOVEMENT GOALS/DESIRED
OUTCOMES
n Improve goods movement mobility
n Enhance environmental quality
n Facilitate economic development
n Increase public safety and security
33. Goods Movement Planning
n Develop/enhance goods movement stakeholder
partnerships and dialogues – infrastructure providers,
users, and impacted communities.
n Develop goods movement system studies/analyses,
including the identification of:
l Goods movement transportation network,
including major generators/receivers;
l Performance of that network (i.e., including design,
operational, safety, maintenance, access and
capacity deficiencies and other issues);
34. Goods Movement Planning
l Factors/variables that are driving system
performance changes (e.g, international trade
growth, truck/rail industry changes, goods
movement land-use development);
l System deficiencies; and
l Improvement alternatives, including project
evaluation and selection.
n Develop goods movement improvement project lists,
priorities, and program.
35. Planning Program Elements
n Work with local planning agencies to consider goods
movement requirements and advocate study and
project programming in OWPs, RTPs, and RTIPs.
n Monitor land-use and system changes that may
impact system performance.
n Expand goods movement data resources, information
and expertise.
36. Performance Measurement
n Proposed freight performance measures:
l Travel time reliability (% on-time performance;
variance in travel times for interregional and
intraregional trips);
l Modal facilities inventory;
l Truck volumes by axle/percent of corridor capacity;
l Total emissions and rates (by ton-mile) measured at
statewide and regional air basin levels;
l Percent increase in goods movement over baseline.
37. n Goods Movement Planning includes:
l Public concern regarding community, health and
environmental impacts of goods movement.
l Importance of goods
movement to the State’s
economy and global
competitiveness.

40. Planning Considerations
Truck routes use an engineering analysis that focuses on safety.
Trucks turn differently than cars due to a characteristic referred to as
quot;off-tracking.“ quot;Off-trackingquot; is a condition of a turning movement
where the rear tires follow a shorter tracking path than the front tires.
This off-tracking, the primary safety concern, may cause the rear
wheels to go onto sidewalks, knock down signs, encroach onto
shoulders, bike paths, walkways, or cross into the opposing/adjacent
lane.
41. Planning Considerations
Turn radius and height
restrictions are often
overlooked, and should be a
first consideration when
planning how goods are
delivered to a proposed use.
42. Planning Considerations
Road geometry and impediments to
traffic flow are other considerations.
Some communities have imposed
temporal restrictions on deliveries.
43. GOVERNOR’S STRATEGIC GROWTH PLAN
n Strategic Growth Plan (SGP) comprehensive
plan to address critical infrastructure needs .
n Goods Movement Action Plan (GMAP) focused
strategic plan to address these needs.
n Trade Corridors Improvement Fund (TCIF)
early delivery of critical projects.
n Additional Resources- public investments and
public/private joint ventures will be needed over the
long term.
44. GOODS MOVEMENT ACTION PLAN
n Joint Effort
California Business, Transportation and Housing Agency, and the
California Environmental Protection Agency.
n Policy Objectives
l Generate jobs
l Increase mobility/reduce traffic congestion
l Improve air quality/protect public health
l Enhance public and port safety
l Improve California’s quality of life
45. GMAP Background
n The Action Plan is a response to:
l Severe Congestion at the Ports of Los Angeles and Long Beach.
l Public concern regarding
community, health and
environmental impacts of
goods movement.
l Importance of goods movement
to the State’s economy and
global competitiveness.
46. Trade Corridors Improvement Fund (TCIF)
Proposition 1B, $2 billion.
n Highway, freight rail, seaport, and airport and border
access improvement projects.
n Key allocation principles:
l Most urgent needs
l Partnership with public & private sector
l Balancing both the needs of large and small ports, and
providing reasonable geographic balance
l Concurrent mobility improvement and emissions
reductions
l Deliverability, maximum benefit and optimum
performance
47. GMAP and the Emissions Reductions Plan (ERP)
California Air Resources Board (ARB) developed the
ERP
n Assess public health impacts of freight movement
n Recommends mitigation strategies including; reduction
of diesel emissions from trucks, locomotives, ships, and
cargo handling equipment.
n Addresses implementation challenges include diverse
dray truck fleet, and limited regulatory authority over
international shipping and rail locomotives.
48. ERP Emission Reduction Strategies
n Key strategies include:
l On-shore power for docked ships
(“cold ironing”);
l Emission reduction programs for
commercial harbor craft and cargo
handling equipment;
l Truck modernization programs
and idling controls;
49. ERP Emission Reduction Strategies
n Key strategies (continued):
l Alternative locomotive
technology and idling limits;
and
l Alternative fuels and
electrification – ships,
cargo handling equipment, trucks, locomotives.
n Mitigation cost: At a minimum $6 to $10 billion.
n Mitigation benefit: $3-8 for each $1 spent on controls.

51. Summary
n The GMAP is just a first stage, more work is needed
n The TCIF process is still evolving as the Legislature,
the Administration, regional and local agencies,
environmental and health communities, the private
sector and other interests weigh in.
n Improving goods movement mobility and protecting our
quality-of-life is dependent on effective involvement of
all stakeholders.
52. Future Directions
n Greater recognition of goods movement planning as
separate, distinct, planning subject and discipline.
n Significantly expanded focus on environmental,
community and public health impacts and mitigation
measures.
n Increased multimodal policy, planning and funding
analysis and commitment.
n More creative funding partnerships and arrangements.
53. Conclusions
California has major goods movement
challenges. But, we are addressing them
through a dynamic process that includes a State
vision, focused planning, diverse joint ventures
and other governmental investments, and
collaborative partnerships.
Local leadership and planning is essential to
meet the detailed needs that support local and
regional economies.
