  8. Port Planning and Investment Toolkit 9 PPIT is envisioned to inform and guide: • Developing capital plans that clearly identify future needs; • Determining the most cost-effective, sustainable and efficient solutions to port challenges; • Positioning port projects for federal funding such as TIGER grants; and • Getting port infrastructure projects into MPO and state transportation programs to qualify for other government funding; • Obtaining private sector funding to support their infrastructure projects.

  9. Intermodal Connectors Study 10 • Background • List of National Highway System intermodal connectors developed in 1998 • Purpose • Develop information on use, condition, and performance of freight intermodal connectors • Suggest options for initiatives to improve connector program • Key Elements of Study • Review literature and data on connectors • Conduct 18 case studies • Analyze use, condition, and performance of large sample of connectors • Conduct local and national stakeholder outreach

  10. Case Study FindingsPort Findings Port connectors have the worst average International Roughness Index (IRI) scores (“poor”) of any mode Need for a systematic program to update the designation of port terminal intermodal connectors Some local roads used as connectors are not officially designated Some improvements to connectors are not reflected in the designations Some local roads designated as connectors are no longer used for that purpose Need better truck traffic data to distinguish between port and local truck traffic

  11. Case Study FindingsAbility to Model Road Congestion using NPMRDS • The National Performance Management Research Data Set (NPMRDS) can be used to determine truck speeds and congestion • Example: Truck speeds outside the Port of Baltimore from 5:00 p.m.- 6:00 p.m.

  12. FUTURE – AMERICA’S MARINE HIGHWAY PROGRAM

  13. Growing Congestion and the Marine Highway Solution • International trade growth can only increase congestion. • Landside infrastructure can’t support the growth. Roads and railroads are near capacity, are costly, and take decades to expand. • The U.S. moves about 6% of freight by water • Europe - 40% • The U.S. has about 25,000 miles of coastal and inland waterways that are operating below capacity. • $4.8 Million in FY2016 grants should be announced soon… U.S. Coastal & Inland Waterways
