Ports Contribution to the Economy Vessels that transport cargo through U.S. seaports move 99.4 percent of the nation s overseas trade by volume, and 65.5 percent by value.

Failure to Act The Port Challenge American Society of Civil Engineers Failure to Act Report 13 September 2012. If the current level of (federal) investment continues, the cost will be a Loss of 738,000 jobs by 2020 and $700 Billion in GDP. By 2040 those losses amount to1.4 million jobs and a $4 trillion loss in GDP. During a National Port Summit hosted by former Transportation Secretary Ray LaHood, participants made it clear that port infrastructure suffers from a lack of focused and systematic investment.

Current Challenges & Issues Lessened by Marine Highways Gridlock: A single vessel can shift over 450 trucks or 225 rail cars from road and rail corridors to our underutilized waterways. Environment: On average, inland vessels generate 38% less greenhouse gases than trucks and 28% less than rail per ton-mile. Energy: Inland vessels move one ton of freight 370% further than trucks (576 miles compared to trucking s 155 miles) and 139% further than rail s 413 miles. Safety: Inland marine transportation involves only 1 fatality for every 155 by truck and 22 by rail for each billion ton-miles.

StrongPorts Program Legislation: Authorizes Port Infrastructure Development Program (2010 National Defense Authorization Act (PL 111-84)) Purpose: Promote, Encourage, Develop Ports and Transportation Facilities in Connection with Water Commerce Secretary of Transportation, through the Maritime Administrator shall establish a port infrastructure development program for the improvement of port facilities. Provide technical assistance as needed for project planning, design and construction. Coordinate with Federal agencies to expedite NEPA. Coordinate reviews or requirements with local state and federal agencies. Receive (Federal, non-federal, private) funds to further projects. 10

StrongPorts Program Primary Objective: Improve state of repair, capacity, efficiency and environmental sustainability of all U.S. ports. Leverage existing programs where possible Improve port competitiveness for public (Federal, State and local) and private funds through enhanced planning and engagement Factors, Goals and Methodologies to Consider Ensure Federal role is appropriate to circumstances Right Size, not Super Size Competition among/between ports is essential minimize impact Program must be effective with no new Federal Funds New money only increases scope of program benefits. Address the real challenges ports face, not perceived - Consensus Program should benefit all ports, not just a select few. 11
