History of the PRPA February 10, 1988 – Governor Casey appointed a special committee to study and make recommendations for expanding the role of the Port of Philadelphia in the state’s economy. 4

Port of Philadelphia 1989 “The Port of Philadelphia is in serious trouble. The City of Philadelphia lacks resources to invest in new technologies needed to maintain the competitiveness of the port. Moreover, because of other claims on its tax revenues, the city’s enthusiasm for investing in the port has gradually diminished over the past two decades.” “Pennsylvania (and Philadelphia in particular) have lost market share to all other states because the Commonwealth – unlike most other states having successful port operations – has not seized that authority and developed a statewide strategy for maximizing its transportation assets, including the ports. 5

Port of Philadelphia 1989 The administration of the Philadelphia port has grown up piecemeal, haphazardly combining from 15 to 25 agencies, each with a piece of the pie but none having overall jurisdiction. The system has become, from an administrative point of view, highly political. 6
7
Recommendations Immediate assumption by the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania Establish authority with statewide jurisdiction. Create Philadelphia Regional Port Authority Negotiate Bi-state unification 7

Moving Forward - Unification Creation of the PRPA Purchase of City Assets 1989- 1999 Decade of Unification Attempts LATEST PHILLY WHOPPER? PORT UNIFICATION – Journal of Commerce September 1998 When it got down to the fine details, the New Jersey side started making impossible financial demands, such as wanting to charge rent to Pennsylvania. The notion of partnership evaporated. 8

Moving Forward Unification Funding the Port Authority Unification/DRPA – Maintenance Dredging Costs during unification efforts Federal Grant programs were eliminated Commonwealth Capital Funding Operating Appropriation 9
10
The new Millennium! The Port needs to be able to rely on a consistent, predictable funding source in order to be taken seriously by the Transportation Industry. – PIDC 1988 To succeed PRPA needed: Educate Commonwealth and Legislature on Port Needs Secure funding to maintain facilities – 2010 Deepen the Channel - 2010 Expand – Innovative Land Acquisitions Future Development – Where we are at 10
