4 October 10, 2017 The Honorable Elaine Chao Secretary of Transportation U.S. Department of Transportation 1200 New Jersey Ave, SE Washington, DC Re: 2017 TIGER Grant Application Green Port Gateway Phase 2: Terminal Island Wye Rail Improvements Dear Secretary Chao: I am writing in support of the Port of Long Beach s 2017 Transportation Investment Generating Economic Recovery (TIGER) grant application for $14.5 million to help fund its Green Port Gateway Phase 2: Terminal Island Wye Rail Improvements project. The Terminal Island Wye Rail Improvements will add 10,000 feet of new track and help the San Pedro Bay Port Complex (the twin ports of Los Angeles and Long Beach) achieve its goal of moving 35 percent of goods by on-dock rail by 2035 to help mitigate the impact of the projected 40 percent growth in national freight movement. The proposed improvements will facilitate several critical rail operations, expand consumer choice in multimodal transportation, and potentially offset 300,000 truck trips per year by These improvements will help manage vehicle congestion on our local roadways and regional freeways, while increasing the capacity for goods to move through our gateway to markets across the nation and around the world. As part of the larger San Pedro Bay Ports Rail Enhancement Program with the Port of Los Angeles and the Alameda Corridor Transportation Authority, this project is anticipated to reduce locomotive idling by 2,500 hours annually, offset freight-related congestion and degradation of the National Highway System, and improve the safety, environmental sustainability, and quality of life in the immediate region and beyond. In addition, the project will enhance both regional and national long-term economic competitiveness for U.S. businesses seeking better, more reliable access to global markets by speeding the flow of exports out of rural agricultural and manufacturing centers and facilitating the movement of essential imports into rural communities and urban centers. The Port of Long Beach is the second busiest port in the United States, a leading gateway for trade between the United States and Asia. Collectively, with the Port of Los Angeles, the San Pedro Bay Port Complex represents the ninth busiest port complex in the world. The Port of Long Beach supports over a million jobs nationally and generates billions of dollars in economic activity each year.
5 Thank you for providing your full and fair consideration of this local, regional, and nationally significant intermodal infrastructure project. Sincerely, Alan Lowenthal Member of Congress

Chao Secretary United States Department of Transportation 1200 New Jersey Avenue, SE Washington, DC Dear Secretary Chao: The Port of Long Beach (POLB) is seeking an award of $14.5 million in TIGER discretionary funds for its $29 million Green Port Gateway Phase 2: Terminal Island Wye Rail Improvements project. POLB is a long time member of the Coalition for America s Gateways and Trade Corridors (CAGTC), a national group of public and private industry representatives dedicated to improving our nation s freight infrastructure. The Green Port Gateway Phase 2: Terminal Island Wye Rail Improvements project will add 10,000 feet of new track and help the San Pedro Bay Port Complex achieve its goal of moving 35 percent of goods by on-dock rail by POLB reports that doing so will potentially offset 300,000 truck trips per year by 2035 and help mitigate the impacts of the estimated 40 percent growth in national freight movement. The project will also reduce locomotive idling by 2,500 hours annually and offset freight-related congestion and degradation of the National Highway System. A critical regional and national economic driver, POLB supports over 30,000 jobs in Long Beach, 316,000 jobs throughout Southern California and 1.4 million jobs across the United States. The project, part of POLB s rail improvement program, will increase the safety, environmental sustainability, and the quality of life in the immediate region and beyond. In addition, it will enhance both regional and national long-term economic competitiveness for U.S. businesses seeking better, more reliable access to global markets by speeding the flow of exports out of rural agricultural and manufacturing centers and facilitating the movement of essential imports into rural communities and urban centers. It will also facilitate several critical rail operations and expand consumer choice in multimodal transportation. We hope you ll consider POLB s Green Port Gateway Phase 2: Terminal Island Wye Rail Improvements project application.
