Results/Findings 4. Impacts/Benefits of Implementation (actual, not anticipated) 5. Recommendations and Conclusions 1. Project Description This study is grounded on the premise that there is one transportation system with many components. Public debates often pit one mode against another mode, such as: automobiles vs. transit, buses vs. trains, walking vs. driving, and freight vs. passenger. However, the reality is that while some people may predominately use one mode, the public should be concerned with all modes that serve communities. The U.S. Department of Transportation is a multimodal agency but the massive nature of the organization has resulted in a structure where various administrations, based on modes, typically focus on their own domain. Local government and metropolitan planning organizations (MPOs) often have a multimodal approach when it comes to passenger transportation, but freight and passenger interest groups and stakeholders rarely collaborate on unified transportation plans that span both. For example, in South Florida, the airports, ports and transit agencies are all located in close physical proximity, but a tourist arriving at one of the three international airports is not able to easily connect to one of the three major cruise ports utilizing regional transit. The same is true in many other port cities, including New Orleans, which is a focus of this study. The aim of this study is to examine the extent that freight and passenger transportation planning overlap within the context of transit-oriented developments (TODs) near ports. This study also includes a case study of New Orleans. The following research questions explore the geographic connections between fixed-route transit stations, TODs, and their proximity to major ports across the United States. The study applied a TOD-typology, developed and applied in other studies (Renne, Tolford, Hamidi, & Ewing, 2016) to examine the transportation, population and economic characteristics of station areas near ports. Research Questions: RQ1. How many fixed-transit stations, including TODs, in the United States are located within close proximity to port facilities? RQ2. What are the jobs and transportation characteristics of fixed-transit station areas by TOD-typology in the last-mile of ports? RQ3. What lessons can be drawn from the coordination, or lack thereof, between passenger and freight interest groups seeking to promote TOD in neighborhoods in close proximity to the Port of New Orleans? This report summarizes the results of a quantitative analysis on fixed-transit station areas, by TOD- typology, within close proximity of major port facilities across the United States. This study examines the population, jobs, transportation, housing and built environment characteristics of fixed-transit station areas by TOD-typology near major ports, including coastal and major river port facilities. The National TOD Database was combined with the National Transportation Atlas Database, coastline data from the Census and data on major rivers from ArcGIS. The GIS analysis was isolated to all fixed-route transit stations located within a half-mile, 1-mile and 3-miles of coastlines, major rivers and ports. 1 The study also presents a case study of New Orleans, where the revitalization of historic neighborhoods, including the construction of new streetcar lines, bicycle infrastructure and improved pedestrian facilities along with an influx of new residents has created tensions between neighborhoods and freight operators. Communities have been fighting for passenger-transport safety and community livability through a variety of requests that were viewed as potentially restricting freight operations within close proximity of the Port of New Orleans. Freight interests maintained their large employment base with job growth as well as their longstanding presence in the community as vital to the local economy. In the course of this research, the following factors became apparent as indicators of need for success: a transparent planning process and infrastructure investment and coordination across community groups, government agencies, and industry representing both passenger and freight modes. 2 2. Methodological Approach A. Introduction In port cities across the country, thriving neighborhoods surround some ports, but less economically successful areas are found around others. When transit-oriented development solutions are presented to improve struggling communities, some of the proposals fail based on fear or misaligned goals and objectives. The research asks, within the planning process, is there a better way to keep stakeholders aligned with each other’s goals in the areas of freight, passenger, and real estate development? Can agencies better collaborate and members of the community be part of that process? Can more transparency on analysis and implementation result in better outcomes? Would better solutions emerge from more open conversation among stakeholders? The quantitative study helps understand the typologies of ports and development around them. Two categories were identified for purposes of analysis: 1. Ports with lots of warehouses and few people, housing and jobs 2. Ports with highly intensive development in close proximity, including housing, employment and entertainment districts The City of New Orleans was identified as a port city in transition from category 1 to category 2, and therefore a useful case study. A series of stakeholder interviews in the city showed that significant investment in infrastructure is required to progress from category 1 to category 2. B. Background Port cities across the globe have seen a dramatic increase in freight and terminal operations due to increasing globalization (Read, 2004; Hesse & Rodrigue, 2004) . At the same time, neighborhoods around ports have been revitalized into trendy waterfront districts with large-scale reinvestments in residential, employment, tourist, retail and entertainment uses, as illustrated in Conery West in London, Docklands in Melbourne, Baltimore’s Inner Harbor, Sydney’s Darling Harbor, New Orleans and many other port cities (Butler, 2007; Hall, 1998; Levine, 1987; Campanella, R & APA Planners Press, 2010; Shaw, 2013). In 2005, Hurricane Katrina devastated New Orleans in what was the costliest disaster in United States history. As New Orleans recovered the city experienced an influx of new residents, including baby boomers, millennials, the creative class, and social and economic entrepreneurs, particularly in neighborhoods on high-ground next to the river. As shown in Figure 1, the “sliver by the river” was the unflooded high ground along the Mississippi River, consisting of historic neighborhoods that were ripe for redevelopment and became the destination for many new residents and business establishments that cater to locals and tourists. The sliver by the river also includes the majority of the Port of New Orleans terminal operations. Neighborhoods including Uptown, Central Business District/Warehouse District, French Quarter, Marigny, and Bywater include major freight terminals. Moreover, this close proximity is in the last mile of freight operations yet also experiencing major reinvestment and gentrification, characterized by rapidly 3 increasing property values,

  • V. Inland Ports Planningand Cargos Handling Opera Tion*
    V. INLAND PORTS PLANNINGAND CARGOS HANDLING OPERA TION* Inland Ports Planning General The term inland waterway port or an inland waterway terminal conveys the idea of an end point. Indeed, traditionally, ports were perceived as end points of the transport system whereby water transport of cargoeswas either originated or terminated. However, from a broader point of view, the one encompassingthe so-called "c~ain of transport", ports or terminals are neither starting nor ending points; they are simply the intermediate points where cargoesare transferred between the links in the transport chain. The emphasis on the transfer function in this introductory section is made since: (a) Ports' main function is to move the cargo and to avoid accumulating and damaging it; (b) In order to efficiently fulfill their transfer function, ports or terminals have to possess convenient access(rail and road) to the connecting modes of transport. broader definition ora port seems especially appropriate for our discussion on inland waterway transportation (IWT). IWT is part of the domestic transportation system which also includes rail and road transpiration. IWT, unlike rail and road transportation, can oQly connectpoints which are locatea on the waterway network. Consequently, in most caSes othercomplementary land transportation modes are required for the entire origin-to-destinationtransport. In other words, since in most casesthe IWT cargo does not originate or terminate atthe port site itself, the main function of the inland port is to transfer the cargo between IWTvessels, trains, and trucks. The inland ports are important for the economic development of a country. The inland port, therail, the road and the seaport are equally important.

    Potomac River Transportation Framework Plan Washington DC, Virginia, Maryland Water transportation is the most economical, energy effi cient and environmentally friendly transportation that exists for major cities today. The vast river network that was the original lifeblood of the Washington, DC region remains underutilized. The Potomac River Transportation Framework Plan is a comprehensive master plan outlining a water based transportation network on the Potomac and Anacostia Rivers in Washington, DC, Maryland and Virginia, for commuters, tourists and the federal government (defense and civilian evacuations). This plan outlines an enormous opportunity to expand the transportation network at a fraction of the cost (both in dollars and environmental impact) of other transportation modes. The plan includes intermodal connections to the existing land based public transportation system.
