Eric D. Johnson Executive Director Washington Public Ports Association December 9, 2013 Freight Mobility Strategic Investment Board Washington’s Ports: Freight Trends & Policy Barriers

Freight Trends: Imports & Exports Newly-available crude oil deposits in North Dakota and the Bakken Formation are driving large amounts of import and export freight to that region. Much of that freight is passing through the PNW, and more is to come. Trans-Pacific container carrier lines continue to consolidate, and new alliances are forming. This could have big impacts on container terminal utilization on the US West Coast.

Freight Trends: Industry & Agriculture Gentrification pressures on industrial land in urban areas continue to grow. Agricultural production in the PNW remains healthy and is growing in several areas.

Freight Trends: Regulatory Issues Environmental costs are becoming uncertain in two key areas: industrial stormwater runoff and the SEPA review of terminal or rail expansion. Recent state proposals to increase leasehold, B&O and public utility taxes increase unease for discretionary cargo. Recent efforts to regulate workplace conditions through city initiative processes are creating uncertainty for businesses.

Policy Barriers: Regional & Local Partnerships Lack of regional corridor partnerships, although planning has started. There are inadequate mandates or incentives for cities and counties to preserve critical industrial property. The state is not articulating its interest in the broader planning that influences Washington’s Constitutionally-protected harbor areas.

Policy Barriers: Lack of Funding We do not have adequate state rail funding within WSDOT. Port districts are not eligible for Public Works Assistance Account funding. The Community Economic Revitalization Board (CERB) is the state’s best rural job-creating infrastructure program, yet it receives generally paltry funding. In addition, wage criteria screen out many good projects.

Policy Barriers: Regulatory Burdens The state is heading towards more expansive and time- consuming review of cumulative impacts under SEPA. Opposition to coal export facilities is taking the form of opposition to freight trains.
