Year 2010 Port Capacity ShortfallsYear 2010 Port Capacity Shortfalls• By 2004, the start of the Reauthorization of
TEA-21, six of the 16 ports (38%) must addsubstantial capacity in order to maintainminimum levels of acceptable service
• In five years, one quarter of all North Americanport gateways will experience a 25% shortfallin containerized cargo capacity.
• In less than nine years (2010), twelve of the 16ports (75%) must add extensive new terminalcapacity.

Port Landside Access Concerns Port Landside Access Concerns• For twelve of the 16 ports (75%), the level of
service for truck cargo delivery is already belowacceptable competitive levels.
• Typical terminal entrance gate truck congestion isworse than that experienced in our mostcongested freeways during rush hours.
• In ten years marine and intermodal terminalentrance gate truck congestion at our keygateways will see even worse truck congestionthan that experienced at our most congestedNAFTA border crossings today.

Theme #1: Although we currently have a semblance ofan intermodal system of freight transport in NorthAmerica, there is substantial room for improvement inour Port & Intermodal Transportation System Efficiencyand Productivity.

• We must develop a consistent measurement of systemperformance to prioritize our intermodal transportationsystem improvements.
• We must understand how the benefits of systemManagement/Operating and Information Technologies(IT) can increase port and intermodal terminalproductivity.

• On a national basis, we need to develop a better real-time freight data tracking system.
• Labor productivity and terminal operating practicesshould be evaluated, and if necessary, pragmaticallyenhanced to meet the future needs of our nationalfreight transport system.

• Improved productivity and transportation systemsecurity are not mutually exclusive.
• Promising emerging Information Technologies (IT)could play a key role in enhancing cargo security.The deployment of these technologies could havesignificant system performance benefits for theintermodal transportation system as a whole.

• Congress must renew & extend our national freightpolicy mandate & vision – They must take a leadershiprole in defining a new national freight agenda.
Ports and Intermodal terminals are no longer able to build their way out of congestion & capacity problems
• Expansion of ALL federal aid program eligibility forfreight projects.

• It is essential that Congress consider a NationalFreight Transport Research Development Program witha fully collaborative freight operations and managementprogram of pragmatic applied research.
• Multi-State and Jurisdictional Trade Corridors and tradearea Multi-modal Transport Consortia should be createdto ensure that investment in the national infrastructureis carried out in a rational, nationally beneficial and costeffective manner.
