  1. California Freight Mobility Bruce de Terra Chief, Office of System and Freight Planning Division of Transportation Planning California Department of Transportation California Freight Mobility - June 2011

  2. 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. California Freight Mobility - June 2011

  3. California Freight Mobility - June 2011

  4. 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. California Freight Mobility - June 2011

  5. Presentation Topics • California Freight System Overview • Caltrans Freight Program Activities California Freight Mobility - June 2011

  6. Freight System Overview • Seaports • Railroads • Trucking • Intermodal Facilities • Air Freight • Impacts California Freight Mobility - June 2011

  7. California Freight Mobility - June 2011

  8. Got TEU?Twenty-Foot Equivalent Unit Ships –11,000 (Panamax 4,500),Trains240& Trucks 1 California Freight Mobility - June 2011

  9. 12 Seaports – an Evolving System • Los 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 California Freight Mobility - June 2011

  10. 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. California Freight Mobility - June 2011

  12. 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 California Freight Mobility - June 2011

  16. Trucking • Trucking • Short Distance • Long Distance • TEU vs 53’ truck length - repacking • I-710 – demand exceeding capacity • Restrictions on where trucks can go • Small operators - Labor • Intermodal Facilities – pressure for mode shift to electric train/shuttle California Freight Mobility - June 2011

  17. Trucking Issues • More & heavier trucks • Deteriorating pavement • Fuel and emissions regulations • Cost of environmental compliance • Safety • Traffic Congestion California Freight Mobility - June 2011

  18. Intermodal Facilities • SCIG – 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.” • San Pedro Bay Ports Clean Air Action Plan • Inland Empire – Jobs, Jobs, Jobs & impacts - future shift to High Desert?

  20. Air Freight • In 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. California Freight Mobility - June 2011

  21. 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. California Freight Mobility - June 2011

  22. Caltrans Freight Program • Goals & objectives • Goods Movement Action Plan (GMAP) • Trade Corridor Improvement Fund – (TCIF) Prop 1B • New initiatives: California Freight Mobility Plan, Rail Plan Update, Freight Model • Overarching Issues: community impacts, air quality, climate change, sea level rise, competition, physical constraint, $$$ California Freight Mobility - June 2011

  23. 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. California Freight Mobility - June 2011

  24. Caltrans Freight Program Goals • 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. California Freight Mobility - June 2011

  25. 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. California Freight Mobility - June 2011

  26. Trade Corridor Improvement Fund (TCIF) • $2 billion from State Proposition 1B bond, $1 billion SHOPP added. • 79 projects, with a total cost of $8 billion. • Includes highway capacity, grade separations, rail capacity projects, and port access projects (bridges, interchanges, rail yards). California Freight Mobility - June 2011

  27. Federal TIGER Program • Colton Crossing ($33.8 m), • Oakland/Stockton/West Sacramento “Green Trade Corridor” ($30m), • OtayMesa POE/I-805-SR 905 ($20.2m), • Doyle Drive in SF($46m). California Freight Mobility - June 2011

  28. New Initiatives • California Freight Mobility Plan – an update of the GMAP and then some: CSULB & USC • Rail Plan Update - includes freight rail as well as the traditional passenger and pending HSR • Statewide Freight Model - supporting the CIB – UC Irvine • SCAG - Comprehensive Regional Goods Movement Plan and Implementation Strategy http://www.scag.ca.gov/goodsmove/regionalplan.htm • San Joaquin Valley - San Joaquin Valley Interregional Goods Movement Plan California Freight Mobility - June 2011

  29. Overarching Freight Issues • How can California • maximize economic benefitsand • minimize environmental and community impacts while • remaining competitive • in an intense global freight market? California Freight Mobility - June 2011

  30. Solutuions? • Vehicle technology improvements • Fuel improvements • System and mode operational improvements • Infrastructure Improvements • Partnerships • All of us working together. California Freight Mobility - June 2011
