2. Infrastructure Vital for America’s Trade Future
Landside and Waterside Connections Critical
this slide has 3 phases….
This slide shows port freight movement infrastructure
CLICK. First, ships bring freight from the global marketplace to ports using federal navigation channels. Shippers and cargo owners are key stakeholders.
CLICK. Then the ships dock at the port and cargo is loaded and unloaded.
CLICK. Then the ways the cargo leaves the port – by road, rail or barge, making its way to private sector distribution centers and store shelves.
This infrastructure is vital for America’s trade future and Congress must make the necessary investments for both land and water side infrastructure.
The federal role in freight movement and maritime infrastructure is traced back to the Constitution, reserving regulation of interstate commerce. Ports and their private sector partners are doing their part by investing more than $9 billion a year in their infrastructure, and we need the federal government to uphold its end of the partnership. Let’s take a closer look at the federal role.
Ports and partners investing $155 billion over the next 5 years in infrastructure improvements
Federal investment in seaport-related infrastructure is lagging far behind

5. Building America’s 21st Century Port Infrastructure Requires Investment

6. The Weight of Freight
Bulk cargo accounts for about 60 to 70 percent of total tonnage, move through our interior states by marine highways, rail and trucks

7. Volumes and Weight = State of Good Repair
Millions of tons of non-containerized cargo are shipped annually through inland states and U.S. ports and commodities such as steel, coal, iron ore, cement, grain, soybeans, fertilizers – the raw and semi-processed inputs so vital to the functioning and health of the U.S. national
Bulk cargo accounts for about 60 to 70 percent of total tonnage, move through our interior states by marine highways, rail and truck-- a lot of stress to place on the infrastructure
States are putting more and more funding into maintaining and repairing aging infrastructure.

8. State of Freight II – Continued Multimodal Investment
67 percent of states already have state freight plans that they are actively working to comply with the FAST Act
55 percent of the states have already identified a total of 6,202 freight projects
$258 billion in project costs have already been identified by only 36 percent of the states (18 States)
Further investment is needed to build out the freight network

9. 29 States
6202 Projects
$258,698,283,920
Rail - 10 states provided freight rail needs at $5.9 billion for 270 projects.
Distribution - Four states provided distribution project needs at $581,620,200 for 25 projects. An additional 6 States provided 27 projects with no cost estimates, bring the total project number up to 57 for 10 States.
Inland Waterway - 13 states submitted a total of 365 inland waterway surface transportation projects. Seven states submitted 298 projects with projected costs totaling $13 billion
Highway – 3152 totaling $96 billion from 12 states. 8 states submitted projects with no cost estimates attached to them.
Undefined- Three states submitted projects without breaking projects out into modes and costs. The totals are 747 projects, totaling $143.7 billion

10. Multimodal Math
Congress, through the FAST Act, made a great effort in providing multimodal eligibility from the HTF
10 percent multimodal eligible of $6.3 billion for the National Highway Freight Program = $630 million for the entire country over the five-year span
$500 million of multimodal from the Projects of Highway and Freight Significance
Total of $1.13 billion available for multimodal projects over five years

11. Funding Freight In the States
6 states already have some form of an authorized freight program
16 states or 31% report that they dedicate funding to freight projects annually
Survey identifies that states collectively dedicate $1.2 billion of funding to freight projects and supply chain investments.

12. Timeliness of State of Freight II
Track the implementation of FAST Act Freight Provisions
Build out the baseline of freight infrastructure investment needs
Educate on the need for a sustainable multimodal freight funding source
Influence incoming Administration and new Congress on freight funding
