Am erican Association of Port Authorities

Representing Seaports of the Western Hemisphere for 100 years!

• AAPA was established in 1912
• Since then, AAPA has been providing a space

for collaboration and exchange of best practices

• Fostering collaboration among members and

allied groups through:

 Education and Training  Networking and one on one interaction  Legislative and Policy support for U.S. ports  Outreach

I nfrastructure Vital for Am erica’s Trade Future

Landside and W aterside Connections Critical

The Port Footprint is Expanding

• Larger Vessels

 Assessing the adequacy of channel and marine terminal capacity

• More work is being pushed
• ut beyond the gate to

accommodate

• Increasing populations in

metropolitan areas  Greater trade volumes

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

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
• f 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.

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

12

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

• ur freight network.

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

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

Transportation & Freight Activity in W ashington

 Highway Trust Fund?  Rep. Lowenthal Bill (H.R. 1308) Waybill Fee  Senate EPW Reauthorization Bill, DRIVE Act (H.R. 22)

• $11.650 Billion
• $2.1 Bllion (AMPPS)
• $200 Million (authorized) Intermodal Freight Grant Program

 Port Performance Provisions  Continue TIGER Funding to Keep Federal Freight Projects Moving

18

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
