I nfrastructure Vital for Am erica’s Trade Future Landside and W aterside Connections Critical 5
The Port Footprint is Expanding Larger Vessels • Assessing the adequacy of channel and marine terminal capacity More work is being pushed • out beyond the gate to accommodate Increasing populations in • metropolitan areas Greater trade volumes 6
I m pact Beyond the Port Gates Need for cleaner intermodal connections to connect to surface transportation network • Highway • On dock rail More integrated port networks reach beyond the gate • Marine highways • Distribution centers 7
Am erican Association of Port Authorities 2 0 1 5 Port Surface Transportation I nfrastructure Survey The State of Freight Planning • Investments • Financing • 8
Findings Congestion is on the rise at land-side seaport connectors . 38% of our • survey respondents said congestion at their ports’ intermodal connections has increased between 10% and 25%. 33% saw more than a 25% increase in congestion. Congestion is hurting port productivity . One-third of respondents said • congestion at their port’s landside connectors over the past decade has caused port productivity to decline by 25 percent or more. Investment is needed to improve intermodal connections. Nearly one-third • of AAPA-member U.S. ports said they need at least $100 million in landside upgrades, both intermodal rail and road/bridge/tunnel connections, by 2025. 80% of survey respondents said a minimum of $10 million must be invested in their port’s intermodal connectors through 2025. 9

Planning Results from AAPA’s Port Surface Freight Infrastructure Survey, The State of Freight : 67 % of our nation’s ports are working directly with their region’ s • Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO) or Council of Governments (COG) in the development and planning of a recent (or as-yet-unfinished) freight project 75% of our ports participated in the development of their state's statewide • freight plan 69% of ports are members of a local freight advisory committees • 11
Financing Gaps 13% Railroad Rehabilitation & Improvement Financing (RRIF) • 8% Transportation Infrastructure Finance and Innovation Act (TIFIA) • 34% reported using, or planning to utilize P3s • 14% identified Private Activity Bonds (PAB) • 61 % selected the survey response option, “Other” • We need to capture the investment and leverage resources that ports provide in our freight network. 12

Since 2 0 0 9 TI GER Funding has Leveraged $ 7 0 0 Million for the Freight Netw ork • 2009 TIGER incorporated freight planning into the process • Multi-modal and multi-jurisdictional competitive grant program • 39 maritime projects, worth $500 Million • Port TIGER Grants have leveraged an additional $700 million • There are additional freight rail and federal highway TIGER projects that also move maritime freight • In addition to TIGER, ports and their private sector partners are investing more than $46 billion over 5 years 14

AAPA & MARAD & Gatew ay Directors W orking Together Port Planning Tool Kit (ongoing) • TIGER Grants • Strong partnership is needed to continue to address the regional and • federal needs of the industry. “Freight is what connects our regional economies” • Energy and environment projects and issues will continue to grow • There is a growing emphasis in supply chain models, security issues as well • as cybersecurity (as well as nuclear detection scanning equipment) We need Gateway Directors to help us advocate and shape policy to meet • the evolving challenges of the industry 16

AAPA Landside Freight Priorities Need for Federal and State Planning • Designation of Gateways and Corridors • Identification of connectors on Primary Freight Network • Expertise in maritime/freight planning should be a part of every state DOT • Short sea shipping or America’s marine highways Dedicated Freight Funding • Port authorities should be eligible to apply directly for funding • Funding for connectors, intermodal projects and ‘first and last mile’ projects • Funding for Projects of National & Regional Significance (PNRS) TIFIA and Strong Financing Options 18
