Since 2009, TIGER has provided over $578 million to 48 port projects around the nation. Including matching funds by State, local and private entities, a total of around $1.3 billion has been invested in ports since 2009. This means that MARAD is more involved with many U.S. ports, and the dots on the map continue to proliferate. The first round of FASTLANE was also recently finalized. In the inaugural round, five port projects received near $115 million in grant awards. Altogether, this is 56 port project grant worth $720 million in Federal funding, and $1.6B overall (including the non-Federal match). NEXT SLIDE.

EXAMPLE PROJECT – MASSPORT FASTLANE Grant $42M awarded for Conley Terminal Intermodal Improvements and Modernization MASSPORT was awarded $42M of a $103M project for a series of intermodal improvements and equipment upgrades that together will enhance intermodal freight movement and efficiency and mitigate freight bottlenecks in the Northeast. These improvements include repairs and strengthening two berths to maintain a continuous state of good repair condition on two functional berths; refrigerated container storage racks to improve energy efficiency and increase capacity; terminal technology and equipment upgrades that will expedite container processing and increase reliability for trucks transporting goods on the National Highway Freight Network; and new gate processing facilities that will reconfigure terminal flow by rehabilitating deteriorated portions of the terminal backlands.

Port Planning and Investment Toolkit 9 Planning Feasibility Funding 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.

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

Case Study Findings Port 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 Even where ports, cities, states and freight stakeholders are highly engaged in planning and improving the roads and rail lines that serve their ports, there is a need for a systematic and continuing program to update the designation of port terminal intermodal connectors and collect summary data on their condition and performance.

Case Study Findings Ability 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.

FUTURE – AMERICA’S MARINE HIGHWAY PROGRAM

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
