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 Truth
Transportation 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.

12 Seaports – an Evolving SystemLos Angeles - #1 in TEUs nationally
Long Beach - #2 in TEUs nationally Combined, # 5 in world
Oakland - #5 in TEUs nationally-50/50 split
9 other CA deepwater ports – mostly bulk, one private – who can name them all?
Competition: West Coast ports, Panama Canal expansion, Gulf & East Coast ports
Lesser ports and harbors – here fishy fishy
![Page 10: Bruce de Terra Chief, Office of System and Freight Planning Division of Transportation Planning California Department of Transportation California Freight](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062407/56649d2e5503460f94a05467/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
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

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 - current
High Value & low weight – $116 billion in value in 2003 handled by CA airports.
Much cargo time sensitive.
Airports publicly owned – another PPP
Relatively 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.
