To Infinity and Beyond
California – a land of dreamers, visionaries and doers.Space Shuttle Endeavour, our most expensive freight mode, final landing at the California Science Center in L.A. There is a transportation future, help invent that future.

Bruce’s View The TruthTransportation is a corner-stone of every empire, multi-national business & power region that has ever existed. It is perhaps the only common denominator among them.Caltrans and our planning work are essential to California’s future. Either we do that work, or someone else will.We’ve got to have fun while doing our jobs well.

Combined, # 5 in world
Oakland - #5 in TEUs nationally-50/50 split9 other CA deepwater ports – mostly bulk, one private – who can name them all?Competition: West Coast ports, Panama Canal expansion, Gulf & East Coast portsLesser ports and harbors – here fishy fishy

God is not making new deep water seaports in California.
It would take an act of God to get a new human made deep water seaport through the NEPA/CEQA process.Ports are fragile economic entities that are generally owned by local jurisdictions under Tidelands Public Trust. They are California’s ultimate PPP enterprise.

Freight Railroads
Roughly 400 mile minimum threshold, very efficient, up to 8,000 foot long trains Class I – privately owned
Union Pacific (UP) Burlington Northern Santa Fe (BNSF) Issues: capacity, passenger rail, grade crossings, safety,
community impacts, air quality, technology.
Shortline Railroads – no, not Monopoly

*Capital outlays plus maintenance expenses.

Intermodal FacilitiesSCIG – near dock: Scottish Curling-Ice Group, Submarine Cable Improvement Group, Southern California International Gateway – BNSF
Hobart – near downtown L.A.: “If it were a hub for ships instead of trains, Burlington Northern Santa Fe Corp.'s Hobart rail yard would rank as the fourth-largest U.S. container port, behind Los Angeles, Long Beach and New York-New Jersey.”

Air FreightIn 2003 CA airports handled 22% of all U.S. air shipments with LAX #2 and SFO #4 in nation. LAX #13 in world - currentHigh Value & low weight – $116 billion in value in 2003 handled by CA airports.Much cargo time sensitive.Airports publicly owned – another PPPRelatively easy mode to loose share, but often use same aircraft as passengers.

Impacts
Toxic air pollution from diesel exhaust (particulate matter, NOx, SOx).Environmental Justice issues – disproportionate impacts to neighboring communities along freight corridors and nodes such as respiratory disease, noise and visual blight.Climate Change - Greenhouse Gas (GHG) emissions.Stress on an already over burdened transportation system.

Caltrans Freight Program Goals
Improve freight mobility: improved throughput, velocity, reliability, access; reduced congestion.
Improve California’s economy: economic development, jobs retention and creation, reduced transport costs.
![Page 24: California Freight Mobility](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062323/568167d6550346895ddd2fb8/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Improve California’s environment: reduced air emissions, reduced community impacts, enhanced environmental justice, ballast.
Increase public safety and security: reduced roadway and rail incidents, increased security at ports-of-entry.

Goods Movement Action Plan (GMAP)
Groundbreaking approach involving Caltrans, Agency, Air Resources Board, Regions, Industry, others.
2005 Phase I: 180 projects/groups, $47 billion.
2007 Phase II: 24 projects/groups, $10 billion.
Expect to see a National Freight policy – and give a wink to the folks who developed GMAP.

Overarching Freight Issues
How can California • maximize economic benefits and • minimize environmental and
community impacts while • remaining competitive • in an intense global freight market?
